Hi All

I finally got my installtion working after few attempts but now it seems I am on the internet but I can't access pages or do something else. I can ping any site/page with no loss and i can get to www.google.com and do searches on google but cannot go anywhere apart from that

help me please!!

that sounds like the DNS is not set correctly, but what worries me is that you are able to get to google

or did you setup google in your /etc/hosts?

anyway, what message do you get in your browser if you enter any url apart from google?

I get no error messages, but in status bar it says page connected and it seems the browser is trying to download but nothing happens after that and I haven't set google in my /etc/hosts

So you can ping www.google.com? I'd imagine you had Google cached so it displays in your browser. Do you have a proxy server that you need to tell the browser about maybe?

Sorry by saying I can't get to my router I meant I can't open routers configuration page in a browser by entering its IP address e.g. my routers local IP is 192.168.1.1!!! on the other hand I can ping any working IP problem is I can't browse other than google and I do not know what is so special && different about Google

thank you

well, lets see:
is this a home lan? is this your router?

go to konqueror settings -> proxy server. do you have "direct connection" or anything else enabled?

have you setup a firewall on gentoo? does your router have a firewall and denying several ports, for example port80 for outgoing?

is another machine connected to the router (probably this one you are posting with)?

Might be that you're not in the same subnet as the router, and the mask is stopping you from seeing it - i.e. make sure your IP looks of the form 192.168.1.x. Use ifconfig to see your IP, under the eth0 entry.

To set a new IP address, use (where x = your chosen number)

Actually, you're right.

I haven't set any firewalls in gentoo, however my router has firewall but I can surf internet in XP on the same machine (dual-boot).

I have the same IP in both OS's which is assigned by the router;
192.168.1.3

Here is resolv.conf

well doode, what about a "man route" inbetween?

delete your current default gateway first.
"route del default gw localhost" or something like that it is.

sorry for being such hassle I have used the man but could not change it I can remove the localhost but cannot add my gateway the localhost comes back again and again.

Anyway, I reinstalled everyting, thought that might help. Until I emerged kde I can use the net e.g. emerge ebuilds but after kde is emerged with about 80 dependencies then the same story again, one of those packages must be causing a conflict how can I find out that package
