[plug] Making the internet work on Debian

[Joong Cho]

Hello all,

How do I make the Internet work on Debian?

I am using NetComm NB1300 Plus 4 router and using the ethernet as a
connection with two computers hooked up. I have tried the #ifconfig function
and this is what I get:

eth0    Link encap:Ethernet    HWaddr: <addresscode>
           inet addr: 192.168.1.11    Bcast: 192.168.1.255
Mask:255.255.255.0
           UP BROADCAST RUNNING        MTU:1500    Metric:1
           < rest of the config here >

lo        Link encap:Local loopback
           inet addr: 127.0.0.1        Mask:255.255.255.0
           UP LOOPBACK RUNNING
           < rest of the config here >

Everytime I type in an address on Mozilla, I get the following: < address >
could not be found. Please check the name and try again. I can't even ping
any sites outside except for my own, and only the loopback seems to work.

This is what I have under the /etc/hosts file:

fe00::0    ip6-localnet
ff00::0    ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1    ip6-allnodes
ff02::2    ip6-allrouters
ff02::3    ip-allhosts

I have tried rebooting the system and yet it won't work. Will somebody help
please?

Also, since the March workshop falls on a holiday, will you guys still be
running or do you shut down on a public holiday. Public holidays will be the
best time for me to come along and ask stupid questions like this. :D

Thanks.
