[PLUG] Fw: RH9 internet access via D-Link router/comcast cable modem

[Dan Beale]

Per request from Rob, I ran /sbin/route:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.0.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
169.254.0.0     *               255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 eth0
127.0.0.0       *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
default         192.168.0.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

Is this right?  Is there something I need to set up under System/Network/ethernet card?  Should I add anything to the /etc/dhclient...conf file?  

Thanks!

Dave

P.S. In MS windows I checked under control panel/network/TCP-IP/advanced for any special gateway entered by the guy who installed the cable modem, but all it says is DHCP enabled.

Subject: RH9 internet access via D-Link router/comcast cable modem

Hello,

How can I connect to the internet using Red Hat 9, a D-Link DI-624 router and a comcast cable modem?  My PC is set up to dual boot Windows and Linux, but the way, and the router/cable modem connects to the internet fine in windows.  

I tried everything I could think of in Red Hat 9 to get the internet connection going; I disabled the firewall, made sure the dhclient process was running using "ps -aux" and made sure eth0 was activated at startup.  By the way, I can enter the router's IP address into Mozilla and go through the router setup wizard in linux just the same as I can in MS windows.  

Do I need to add my router's IP address to one of the dhcp or dns config files?

Thanks,

Dave
