network probs....

[tonec]

hi
i've just installed rh7 on a machine at work .
we have a tcpip network. we run adsl and on a windows machine the gateway is 192.168.254.254
the ip address of the linux machine is 192.168.254.12
i'm using gnome desktop - i have tried pinging other machines on the network and it replies ok....
anyway it wont connect to the adsl which it should do if the default gateway is set up to the right ip address - yeah ??
is there any basic tutorials out there for setting up your network stuff with linux - cant seem to find anything...
I have made sure the server has got the logons that i have for linux so the machine should have all the necessary permissions on the network...
hope someone can help...
thanks ;)

Don't know about Tuts, but have you tried netcfg from a command line yet? One of the good things about RH for a newbie like myself. It allows you to set up the network configuration. Let us know how it goes...

Also check the
NHF's (http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf)

Good luck!

Try using your route commands instead of linuxconf.
for your internet use route add -net ip.provider.net netmask your.net.mask

for the gateway that you use to get through to the internet (router) do route add default gw your.router.ip

do a man route to read up on it, it will help.
