what type of internet connection?
I consider it as a Always connected type of connection with a router and it do not require any login username or password, same as mine. Hope it will be useful for you.
Router as a DHCP Server
configure the system as DHCP client.
unplumb the device
# ifconfig rtls0 down
# ifconfig rtls0 unplumb
rename hostname.interface into a different name.
# cp hostname.rtls0 hostname.rtls0.bkp
comment the loghost line entry in /etc/hosts file
create a newfile using the command
#touch dhcp.rtls0
Plumb the NIC and bring it up by using the following commands
#ifconfig rtls0 plumb
#ifconfig rtls0 up
#ifconfig -a
now your interface should have an ip provided by the router.
Configure as a DNS client
#echo "192.168.1.1" >> /etc/resolv.conf
[ It should be the IP of Router ]
In /etc/nsswitch.conf file
in the line containing hosts add the word dns next to the word files.
Enable the DNS Client service
Now you should be able to browse
