Hi everyone, I use DHCP to access the Internet at home, running Sid on my Toshiba. Yesterday I downloaded netenv. Having little background knowledge on networking and even less on modifying configuration files on Debian, I was hoping to use my Debian in the office, which has a cable Lan connection with a fixed IP address 141.20.107.100. The network is Windows based.
So this is what I enterned when the Netenv dialog box came up during bootup: current IP-address: 141.20.107.100 netmask of the current subnet: 255.255.254.0 IP-address of the current network: 141.20.106.0 Broadcast-address: 141.20.107.255 Gateway address: 141.20.106.1 IP-address of the current nameserver: 141.20.1.3 Everything, except for the network IP and the broadcast address , is exactly what I'd enter when I'm on Windows. But I can't seem to get connected to the Internet with the above on Debian. Or I was probably connected already, only the browser kept telling me "servers not found". Did I do something wrong? Do I need Samba or something like that? Thanks! Han
