    linux - cant access net

    I've just installed ubuntu and i cant access net.

    I'm able to ping my router and access the admin section on the router (192.168.1.1...) so the network card and router are both working. but i just cant connect to net. not on Firefox nor gaim etc....


    any ideas? do i need to config the router differently or something?

    btw i can access net on xp

    If you can connect to 192.168.1.1 you should be able to connect to any IP that's accessible to the public. I never had much luck with getting a Linux box connected to the internet until I installed Puppy - then it worked out of the box.
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.

    Can you get to the Internet via IP addresses? For example does http://63.236.73.220 show this forum?

    I remember changing a few settings like the default gateway and ip number on Ubuntu just the way you do on windows XP.It was pretty simple and straight forward.

    The DNS server address(es) also matters.
