I've had NTL broadband installed and, for the life of me, cant get anything other than W2K/IE5.5 to connect to it properly. The Linux box gives me an IP/DNS and gateway from DHCP but doesnt seem to want to work. Anybody got any clues? Tom
That's just plain spooky. Me too! lol
Indeed, I get an IP address, DNS, and gateway, but it can't ping the external network, or resolve any hostnames. I've spent all day today doing this!
What do you put in your hosts file when you use DHCP? i.e. my old one was something like:
127.0.0.1 localhost 10.0.0.1 pixiedust pixiedust
But as I don't know my IP in advance- what should I do?
