    Ok, and sorry about the double post, the post was moved in from the computer forum (feel free to merge/deletewhichever)

    Basically i'm trying to get a connection to the internet via my adsl router. When Idothe following commands, i am able to ping the router, but not go any further:

    ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0
    route add default gw 192.168.1.1 (my router)

    so i'm able to access myrouters configuration by HTML, telnet and so on, but i cant get onto the internet

    what does 'route' say?

    default DN04-fe-1-3-1-1 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth1

    i have a line like that for example but u may have it like

    default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth1

    anyway, if that looks ok, its basically up to the router to sort the rest out.

    That's a nameserver problem. You're not specifying a DNS server. I guess doing 
    "echo "192.168.1.1" > /etc/resolv.conf"
    will fix things up

    OK thanks for all the help guys. I got it working. I just deleted the static IP in the rc.inetd1.conf file (or whichever one it was) and presto it worked. I'm even making this post from it!
