Unable to connect to internet on slackware 14.1 (hathway connection)
Hi,
I have a wired internet connection of hathway provider. I would like to use the connection on my desktop as well as my laptop. My desktop pc has windows 7 and yesterday I installed slackware 14.1 (full installation) on my lenovo 3000 n100 laptop.
Previously I had slacko puppy 5.7 installed on my laptop and I was able to use internet on it. Please note that hathway router has saved the MAC address of my desktop. Hence, I had to change the MAC address of laptop (when puppy linux was installed) to match my desktop's MAC address for making the internet connection work on laptop.
Now I have slackware 14.1 installed and have followed the documentation provided to setup my network, without success. After going through netconfig, I have edited /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf and made the following changes:
where HWADDR[0] matches my desktop's MAC address.
After this edit, I ran /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 eth0_start to make connection. This too seems to succeed. It finds and IPv4 address and the child process goes to background.
But when I open firefox and try connecting to google.com, it fails. I have also checked ifconfig output to find that eth0 does take the MAC address specified in HWADDR[0].
I have also tried using networkmanager shipped with slackware (from XFCE dekstop) without success.
I running HPUX 11.0,
Netscape gives me an error "Unable to locate Server" when using a www.something.com address.
If I use an IP address I get past the router and onto the Internet.
My workstation can get to the Router @ 192.168.0.1 and also it's local APACHE server.
