Hello Every1,
I am having Red Hat 9.0 and have an internet connection from a cable internet provider. Actually its an ethernet and I have been given a static IP/netmask : 172.16.56.202/255.255.255.252 . I have also been given a gateway : 172.16.1.1 and a DNS server IP : 172.16.1.1 .
I have configures device eth0 to have static IP address and default gateway is also configured.
THe internet connection I ude first requires me to log on with a username and password by first going on the 172.16.1.1 website.
I am able to browse the ethernet. Able to log on see my usage. But when I have to go somewhere on to the internet it gives me a message connection refused when attempting to connect to...
when i ping those websites it says network unreachable.
I tried to install squid but squid wont start it gives an error about some unknown name????
pls help me as thats the only reason preventing me to totally switch over to GNU/Linux from other operating systems.
Thank u for ur time Rohan :)
