Follow the following steps:
1) Try pinging any machine on
your LAN. If you cannot, configure your LAN settings. Better do it through GUI
in X-windows than modifying the files, you may waste your time in modifying them
directly.
2) If you can ping, then in GUI,
configure your network card to use DHCP. Restarting the netowkr service should
solve the problem.
Using GUI makes configuring network cards as simple
as doing it in Windows.

Subject: Unable to Connect to
Internet
Hi,
I have upgraded my Linux from Red Hat 7.3 (Valhalla) to Red hat 9
(shrike). I am on the LAN but I am not able to connect to the Internet. I am
on a laptop and use DHCP.
I have checked I have enabled DHCPservice.
When I run Netscape its says..unable to connect to ..host. etc etc
and when I go on a shell and type
it says no host yahoo.com found.
I switched back to windows its a Linux problem or network problem.
Internet is working on windows.
Please help me how can I connect to the
Internet on this Red Hat 9. earlier on 7.3 I was using Internet very
smoothly.
Thanks in Advance
