I made a copy of the previous /etc/resolv.conf to /etc/resolv.conf_backup and in the new /etc/resolv.conf put the same lines as there were in the mandrake machine which is connected to the Internet. But red hat laptop is not able to connect to the internet (neither ping IP work, nor ping www.yahoo.com) The machine is very well in the network as both machines are able to ping each other. Any Suggestions?
