Help configouring Lan Router

**francy222** · 01-19-2005, 12:15 AM

Hi,
I'm on a lan network and my pc can connect to internet by an adsl router which is connected whith 2 other pc.
Now the problem is that I can configure may netcard from windows, but I can do it from linux knoppix.

PS
I try to lanch for the terminal netcardconfig (logging as root) and I try several combionationes, but it does'nt work.
So this is my windows netcard configuration:

1)Ip: 192.168.2.4
2)Subnet: 255.255.255.0
3)Gateway: 192.168.2.1
4)Primary dns: 159.99.125.2
5)Secondary dns: 159.99.125.3

And this is the parameters request from knoppix:

1)Ip address for eth0
2)Network mask for eth0
3)Broadcast for eth0
4)Default gateway
5)Nameserver

Can someone says the exactly corrispondence Windows Knoppix?
...

sorry, I'm a newbie.....

1)Ip address for eth0 -> 1)Ip: 192.168.2.4
2)Network mask for eth0 -> 2)Subnet: 255.255.255.0
3)Broadcast for eth0 -> probably 192.168.2.255
4)Default gateway -> 3)Gateway: 192.168.2.1
5)Nameserver -> 159.99.125.2 and 159.99.125.3

Thanks very much for the council,
I try that, but it does'nt work anyway.
Now I can connect to the router if I digitize 198.161.2.1 in the browser and the router configuration pannel appear to me (I thinks it means that my netcard is well recognized and work propertly), but if i digitize any oder addres in the browser address bar, the answer is that there was an error and I can't connect

.
What can it be?
How can I resolve this problem?

my set up is this

Code:

ip = 192.168.1.3
subnet = 255.255.255.0
broadcast adress = 192.168.1.255
default gateway = 192.168.1.1
primary dns = 192.168.1.1

i leave my primary dns as the routers ip because the router has a built in dns server which will do all the dns look ups for me.

i suggest you do ipconfig in windows while you are connected to the net and copy that exact set up for linux. hope this helps

i forgot to add. you might want to scan your router using nmap -sU -v 192.168.2.1 -p 53 if it says its open then thats your dns server you should get away with just using that.
