Hello All -
I've tried very hard to follow instructions posted to this list regarding
setting up my ethernet connection, but I just can't get it right. Any help
is greatly appreciated!
Here's my situation:
Pismo 400 connected to a router, that is connected to my cable modem
DHCP is turned OFF on the router - so on the Mac side, I just use a static
IP (and that's what I want on the Linux side)
I can currently ping the router, and my roommate's machine (also connected
to the router), but I cannot seem to get 'outside' -- no web,
mail...nothing!
Here's my setup in netcfg:
Names:
hostname: ydlpowerbook
domain: localdomain
hosts: nothing entered (I tried putting in a loopback address (127.0.0.1)
and generic names, but that didn't seem to do anything)
interfaces:
lo 127.0.0.1 proto: none atboot: yes active: active
eth0 <my IP> proto: none atboot: yes active: active
routing:
default gateway: <my router's IP>
Am I doing something wrong? I know little about networking. I see so much
info out there about configuring DHCP, but not much about static IP
addresses. Thanks for your help in advance!
