TCP/IP problems
First, I would like to thank everybody who offered advice to me yesterday
regarding why iplogger was crashing my computer. I got that fixed, thank
you. Now, (let me preface what I am about to say by adding that I am
teaching myself linux by getting Debian running on my Thinkpad.
Therefore, many stupid learning mistakes. . .) since yesterday, I have
rebuilt my machine after successfully screwing up my libraries. My
computer is connected in a networked office environment using DHCP. My
IBM Thinkpad 390E is using a Xircom REalport card (which it recognizes
fine). I have a DHCP client on my computer, and when I start it up, it
gives me back an IP address. However, I cannot generate any further
outgoing or incoming traffic. When I open up my browser, I can't browse
web pages via domain names or IP addresses. I can't FTP anywhere, or do
anything else. This sounds like a TCP/IP problem. Thing is, I have no
ideas for how to fix the problem, or even to verify it. Any advice?
THANKS!
Bryan
