RH9! my first distro :) now back to work...

Hi mhay,
First you need to have root access. Then, try this out:[*]

#ifconfig eth0

see if eth0 has values (ip address, netmask) that is consistent with your
local network. If there is none, or it is not consistent with your LAN, you
can configure it by

#ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
#route add default gw 192.168.0.1

then see if you have links installed
#which links
/usr/bin/links

#links http://www.plug.org.ph

HTH

[*]Assuming that your network is 192.168.0.1/24, your default gateway is
192.168.0.1, and that your PC has 1 ethernet card connected to a switch.

If my suggestion does not answer/fix the problem, you can be nice to us by
giving us more information about your network.
