New to linux, cannot connect to internet

[imported_roy]

Hi
I tried changing 2 to the chkconfig runlevels. But no use.

Now I am trying to figure out, how to put a script in the profile that executes during startup.

Thanks

Hi,
I executed the command
echo /sbin/dhclient eth0 >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local

Yes now it is working on boot time.

Thanks all for your help
Thanks a lot

Nice Roy! starnge it did not work out of the box, but I admire you patience.

Hi All,
after I executed the command
echo /sbin/dhclient eth0 >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local

each time I login into the system I am getting an error message
"Couldnot look up internet adress for x1-6-.....9f-67(I am not giving the full address fearing any security problems?).This will present GNOME from operating correctly. It may be possible to correct the problmem by adding x1-6-.....9f-67 to file /etc/host"

So I did
echo x1-6-....-9f-67 >> /etc/hosts

But I still getting that error.
Also when I open terminal
it is showing like this
[root@x1-6-....-9f-67 ~]#

I am not experiencing any problem because of this. But like to make sure this is not a problem. How can I rectify it?
Thanks
Roy

add your ip and hostname to /etc/hosts like the following :

[YOUR IP ADDDRESS] [HOSTNAME]

Do not change your localhost line.

Hi,
Now my /etc/hosts is like this
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
x1-...-67 localhost.localdomain localhost

But still have the problem

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
x1-...-67 localhost.localdomain localhost
[/quote]

The first line is perfect. But change the last one to include whatever domain you want. For example I have somthing similar to:

192.168.1.64 andrew andrew.schotty.net

Hi,
Now /etc/host
have something like this as the second line
x1-6-00-h0-12-5b-9f-67 roy.kuri roy

Do any body know from where I got this x1-6-00-h0-12-5b-9f-67 address.
It doesnt look like a normal ip address any way to me. Where it is saved so that i can change it? And what is that address mean? like my address in the network ( I am not in any network other than internet)

Thanks a lot

run /sbin/ipconfig and type the address that is given there instead of that goofy one you have now. I agree that is an odd one, and is most certianly NOT IPv6.

[imported_roy]

Hi I tried
/sbin/ipconfig
-bash: /sbin/ipconfig: No such file or directory

So i tried
/sbin/ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:18:7B:9F:67

and i added 67.184.92.138 into /etc/host file. But no help.
It looks like it is better to leave it alone for now
Thanks again.
