Title: Problem on setting up the internet connection
Post by: summer00 on May 17, 2004, 07:05:37 AM

I am currently running a dual boot system, XP and linux Redhat 9.....the broadband internet connection runs well in XP which was manually setup......IP, Subnet mask, default gateway, DSN server(configured manually).........but i do the same thing in Linux Redhat 9....the same IP, subnet, gateway, DSN....but connection cannot be established........Mozilla status = "Resolving ........"

Xp is connected using 3Com 3C920 Integrated Fast Ethernet Controller, so may i know how to set it up? thanks a lot :roll:

Code: [Select]

nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxwhile x is your nameserver IP..
