[Mandrake 10.1] No Internet
Hi, I'm new to Linux and I've a prob with my internet. In Windows, everything goes fine. In Mandrake, the icon in the systemtray states that I DO have a LAN-connection. I put, like in Windows, my IP to: 192.

192.168.x.x (ip of machine)
255.255.255.0 (subnetmask)
192.168.x.x (router is default gateway)
But if I open Mozilla, I get an error:
Connection failed to www.google.com
Anyone... ??

In Windows, do File->Run->"cmd" then "ipconfig /all"
and then write down the DNS/nameserver IP addresses for
the LAN interface.
Then, in linux, edit /etc/resolv.conf to add the lines
"nameserver 1.2.3.4
nameserver 1.2.3.5" (only use the two IP addrs collected from Windows)
after editing the file, you don't need to reboot.
Try again with Mozilla.
cheers!

Thx for the input.
I can locate the file without problems, but ....
In Windows, you can edit many filetypen by rightclicking and opening in Notepad.
In Mandrake, I want to edit the conf file, I dubbelclick and OpenOffice opens. I can't save the file back to the conf extention with OpenOffice. So I rightclicked and tried to open with Vi. I then get an error message (extention problem). I add .conf to the list, where also txt is added. But after that, I still have the same msg..
Does Mandrake have a special apps to edit such files? How on earth can I edit a .conf file?
ANd yes, I logged in as root-user.
thank you for your time and help!
