by I recently installed Redhat 5.1 on my machine, but I am unable to
connect to the internet, or my ISP's network. I have a Win95 boot on
the same machine, and I have no connection problems. My ISP claims that
Linux should work, but they do not support its config issues. (grrrr.)
I have a static ip address. I can ping it, no problem. If I try to
ping my DNS server, or even my Gateway, it just hangs. I can ctrl-c
out. netstat -r hangs, but netstat -r -n works. I suspect that it may
be a problem with my routing table, but I'm not exactly sure what. I've
read NAG, Install, and How-To's, but I can't seem to find anything
different than what I have already tried.
This may be a completely different issue, but as a test, I connected the
Linux station to a local NT Server via DHCP. It obtained an IP
address fine. I was able to ping the server, as well as the
workstation, however I was unable to FTP to the server....it would just
hang. (Kind've a similar symptom?)
Anyway, any good insight would be appreciated.
