You might first try (as root) a netstat -ranHello all, This should be a simple problem. I use a Linksys Router to connect to the internet. The router is the DHCP for it's little network. The DHCP works because I see the Linux box eth0 card's MAC address in the router DHCP table. And the Linux box has the ip assigned to it. All seems good there. Using the terminal window I can ping the router and the other Windows box on the network. I am unable to ping addresses outside this network, can't ping to the internet(either ip or www address) When trying to connect using Mozilla I get the message "The connection was refused when attempting to contact www.redhat.com." What settings should I check to solve this problem?? When I was using 7.3, it connected easily, never had anything to do, does 8.0 do something different??
You should see something like this:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 40 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 40 0 0 eth0
The bottom line is my Linksys Router (192.168.1.1). If you see this, your gateway is configured, and I would look at your firewall settings. Try it with the firewall set to 'None' and if that works, you can set it to 'Medium' and open the ports you need. If your firewall is set to none and you still can't ping something on the internet, it may be a DNS problem. Try the dig command:
dig www.redhat.com |grep -i server
This should come back with the name of your DNS server. If not, check your /etc/resolv.conf file and the "setup" page on your linksys to make sure you have the right DNS servers.
Do the other machines on your net work as expected?
