Linux Network Help- Fixed

Ok, Im running Linspire on my other pc, and I'm trying to get it on the internet.

I have my router set up on this comp, so i kno it works..

So I set its IP address, gateway, DNS, etc.

Problem: It still doesnt connect. I restarted 3 times, no result. Tried all of it's troubleshooting stuff, no result.

Help??

***ok, i fixed it, it obviously resetted on me... <_<

 

I have no clue man, sorry next time loser1

 

dude, I am going to need to network linux with a MA111A or something dimilar to that, any advice on networking?

 

there's KY1992 again...

All you need to do is set your IP address, gateway, subnet, and your dns, if you need to.

This should be in tools->network. It varies from distro to distro, but its as easy as setting it up in Windows, just a dif way of setting it up.

Once I kno what distro your using, i can help more.

 

I will be using gentoo as of your recomendation.

 

thanx...

I havent used gentoo in awhile.. but I believe it uses Gnome as its desktop. Click on the footprint in the lower corner, top or bottom, in there should be a catagory for system settings. inside that should be either a 'control pannel' or a 'network setting' option.

pretty straight forward after that if you used to set up networks on windows....
