If you do get packets back, type: ping www.yahoo.com if you get no packets back, it's your DNS settings. Look at /etc/resolv.conf - you should see at least one line like this: nameserver ip.address.of.nameserver If you don't add such a line (or two) with valid nameservers. Your ISP should give you such settings. If they haven't, you could use: nameserver 158.43.128.1 but only temporarily - it's a Worldcom/MCI nameserver and might not live forever. Oh, and set a hostname. (see man hostname). PWR.
