Hey,

I want to assign a static IP to my Slackware server I just setup so I read on a forum to change /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf to the following:

-----------------------------------------------------
# Config information for eth0:
IPADDR[0]="192.168.1.11"
NETMASK[0]="255.255.255.0"
USE_DHCP[0]=""
DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]=""

.........

# Default gateway IP address:
GATEWAY="192.168.1.1"
-----------------------------------------------------

After restarting I can still ping it from my other computers but on it I can't access the internet. Did I miss a step somewhere??

aren't you missing a number here?
IPADDR[0]="192.168.1.11X"

Did you add your ISP DNS servers to your /etc/resolv.conf file? Or at very least, there should be an entry for your router there.

no I didn't read anything about /etc/resolv.conf, the only thing that is in it right now is:

-----------------------
search localdomain
-----------------------

what do I have to put in it exactly?

I think you need to have something in resolv.conf like:

nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

I've never tried putting my router ip there to see if that works. Otherwise, your ISP should be able to tell you what IP to put in there. You should list several.

that worked putting my router IP in. Thanks!!
