No browser connection

#1 Post by jola66 »

Hello all, I'm very new to all of this & I just went all in w/ puppy 5.3.1. Did full installed to an old think pad -R51-

I seem to have an IP address & it says I'm connected, but when I open seamonkey -2.5- the connection fails.

What am I missing? Thanks, jola66

How are you connected - by Ethernet cable or Wifi?

Type the command: ifconfig

What IP address do you get?

Type the command: cat /etc/resolv.conf

What do you get?
