Problem with Broadband connection.

[Odrorir]

I just built my first Linux box, using Red Hat 7.2. I have a Linsys 4-port router hooked up to three other machines. My ethernet card shows up just fine but I cant get any service. Do I need to maqke my router a host, or specify it's IP? I am using both K-mode and Gnome, so instructions in either would be appreciated.

Thanks

After browsing, I ran ifconfig and it looks like my router is assigning an IP to my box, which is good. I can also ping my my router now, but I still cannot connect to the internet. Any suggestions?

OLne more question, when I ping, how do I stop it?

[Odrorir]

I figured all this out, thanks me for all the help. No problem.

To stop ping, or anything else, use Ctrl +C

Is your router setup to pass along DNS info?

Look in your /etc/resolv.conf file to make sure you have entries for

nameserver XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

I entered the dns servers under network in the control panel and everything seems good for now, thanks.
