Subject description: I get some sort of connection....but not all		  
Hi all,

I can't connect to the internet by hardwire or via wireless. However, Blinky in my system tray tells me I'm connected to both. I have both sent and received data from either connections. I've gone through Auto DHCP and it claims to be successful (addresses even match up to router numbers) but still no web surfing ability.

Funny thing is that when running a live cd, I was able to connect to wireless right off the bat.

Dell D600
Broadcom BCM 4306
Broadcom BCM 5705M ethernet
DSL 2Wire modem

So please...help me Puppy gurus

Mike

Hi mjnuss

go to a console and type
Code:
ifconfig

after you've tried to go on the web, i.e. after using network wizard to get connected

what puppy version are you using?

Wireless is a whole different thing as there maybe security settings need adding, so let's try wired first, OK?

Edit: This may go a bit further

please open a console window and ping your router. If that works, please ping 4.2.2.2 If that works, ping google.com.

Please post the results of those tests.

I hate to be pushy but any ideas anyone?

EDIT - Sorry, forgot. I'm using Puppy 4.2.1 So that might be the reason why my wireless isn't working. Doesn't entirely explain the ethernet problem though.

Sounds like that non dns bug lol

Check out the contents of /etc/resolv.conf
something like below where the address is that of the router.
Code:

nameserver 192.168.1.1
