Internet Connectivity via T1

[rosehat]

Installed 7.1 all packages. Originally configured with IP addresses of DNS, Gateway, and Server address. Linux machine is currently a workstation on a Win 2000 network. It can communicate within network. It can send and receive mail via the KDE mail program...Had Internet connectivity originally...then I had to change machine's IP address...after that kafloohy! no more Internet...no more connection to Redhat..Can't find Linuxconf in 7.1 anywhere....Don't know what netcfg should include at this point...any help out there Thanks.... :rolleyes:

yeah, i found out that you have to download the latest linuxconf rpm and install it by hand in RH7.1 seems they use the chkconfig program with some other stuff to not need it. it fits on a floppy, so you could do it that way if you needed.

sounds like you might be outside the subnet allowed outside the T1, via the (access control list) ACL in the router. or is your subnet mask different than the other win2k machines? that would put your broadcasting on a different IP, and maybe not where it needs to. I'd check the router to see if it will allow you to use the IP that you just put on it recently.

Hope this helps...jsut a few thoughts to mull over.

Thanks for the tip...doing a reinstall and verifying all the net/subnet addresses first......

Did find linuxconf in the Gnome program menu at some point....only when logged in as root...and after accepting some automatic fixes...so I don't know how or what happened...don't care anymore...starting fresh! Appreciate your response
