router issue

[halninethousand]

hello I just installed Fedora 8 on one of my pcs and am a relitive noob in linux.
There is no internet connectivity. :(
I know the eathernet is working and the computer is connecting to the router because I can get to the router configuration page through firefox (10.1.1.1) the computer is not appearing in the LAN Clients list, my router is a D-link DSL-G604T :confused:
any help is hugely appreciated
thanks in advance

It is usually either a gateway issue or a dns issue. Make sure that your DNS address is listed in /etc/resolv.conf.

Try and "ping www.google.com". If it converts the www to an ip address it is not a DNS problem.

thanks Lazlow, tried the things you said, the DNS was allready in resolv.conf(as long as it is supposed to be the same as the router 10.1.1.1 and not the actual external DNS ip) tryed adding the external gateway ip from my router config too, still no pages comming up. it pings google fine though with the i.p returned 0% packet loss. how do i setup the gateway?

If you can ping google, your gateway is already configured! Do you have a proxy configured in the browser?

If you can ping Googles URL, your browser should be able to do the same. Is it possible a firewall is blocking you browser?

[halninethousand]

no firewall set up on the router, fedora is still stock, the browser proxy was configured "direct connection to the internet" I tried the others but I don't know how to manually configure html ports, is the linux deafult 8080 the same as windows? what are the other ports usually used?

If you can ping a URL the router, network, etc. are able to reach the internet and DNS is working. If you start the browser and type in WWW.GOOGLE.COM, what happens? What ping and your browser are doing is not that different.
