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.
Assuming I can ping gateway etc, I would first check if DNS is working as it should. If it does [nslookup/telnet/ping/ncftp all report IP addresses.]. I would then try to ping www.google.com, and see what happens. If nothing comes back, I would like to see what does /usr/sbin/traceroute has to say about it. It should report your router there atleast. If it starts showing all those stars before reaching google, it means there is a firewall, while if doesnt list even your router, there is someproblem with your LAN settings. If so, try to find the proxy [nmap your lan B-) ], and set your browsers accodingly.
Squid is if you want to play ISP, and give proxy access to Net via your computer to others, which I guess is not what you are trying to do right now.
