Hello all,

im new to the linux world and i fallowd the instructions on how to connect to the internet but i seem to cant connect. i have a Westell wireless modem(router). My computer is conected directly to the computer. I dont know how to connect it i tried the netconfig...it did not work...But im sure some one out there knows how.


Thax,
Froboi

Do you connect wireless?

No im connected directly to it

Than that would be with an ethernet cable?
as root
Post ifconfig
Post ifconfig -a
Post dmesg | grep -i eth0
Post dmesg | grep -i eth1

I did what you told me to do but it did not work anyother ideas?

You should post (give to us) the output of these commands.

Sorry my bad XD

dmesg | grep -i eth0

dmesg | grep -i eth1

thats what they all gave me

Try this as root
dhcpcd eth0
ping www.google.com -c 3
If that doesn't work try
dhcpcd eth1
ping www.google.com -c 3
