unable to browse the internet
Hi,
I just installed potato and setup my net connection, but iam unable
to ping any external internal internet address.
Iam used pppconfig to set my isp up (which connects fine), but i
tried nslookup and get 'command not found' (which package do i need
to install for this) i have added my isp's dns addresses to the
resolv.conf file, but still the same.
I cannot ping any ip addy's names (eg ping www.freeserve.co.uk),but
i can ping the inet address my ip gave me: 62.137.216.56.
i also cannot ping any internet ip address ( used nslookup on my rh
box to find debian.org's ip addy and it worked on rh, but still
nothing on debian)
So looking at it i havn't set up dns correctly.
Ive tried changing 'search localdomain' to
'seach www.freeserve.co.uk' in my /etc/resolv.conf, but still the
same
Ive included some output of my files below:
-------------
/etc/resolv.conf:
