Linux and @home problem

[moja visost]

I have 3com's 3c509b NIC card and Linux recognized it and it works (I can ping my assign ip).
The problem is I can't ping any ip in the internet. The cable modem indicates (on send/receive lights are turning on/off)that it works but on the screen there is no reply.(no network unreachable). If I try ping some ip -c 4 the lights go 4 times but on the screen just waits for the reply.

If I try nslookup it says: dns server .... unrechable.

I used this howto: http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/distros/mandrake/athome_setup.html
and also some other and I think that part should not be the problem and I also checked my assign ips 30 times.

Thanks in advance!

hmm. I'm wondering if you have the dns set up right. Just asking...

/etc/resolv.conf

domain yourispdomainname
nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx # your isp dns 1
nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx # your isp dns 2

Thank you people for fast reply. The problem was in resolv.conf but not the domain name and dns servers, it was search pointing to localdomain instead of the new host name.

This finishes my 3 day war with nic cards and networking.
