Did you configure your system to use some DNS servers?

What kind of ethernet chipset are you using?

Some newer chipsets require newer drivers to work properly. There are several ASUS motherboards that we use that require new drivers under Slackware 10.2.

127.0.0.1 = Loopback not Local Network..


If you do an 'ifconfig eth0' does it return a No Device Found? If so you are missing the driver for your ethernet card, ensure that you have the driver or LKM compiled into the kernel so that you have support for it.

hii
my network is detected showing and IP is pinging but when i tried to browse WEB then it shows the error unknown host...
ps-I am using mozilla and firefox but both have same error.

any clues!!!!!!!!

Are you trying to browse based on the computer name? Browse to it based on its network IP Address and no I dont mean 127.0.0.1 i mean that actual eth0 or eth1 or whatever interface you are actually using IP addres..
