Hi all- I am a total newbie to Linux so please be patient with my stupid questions- I am having trouble connecting to and browsing the internet. I'm using Linux Puppy 4.20 on a Compaq Presario. I have an SMC broadband router and I am plugged in directly with a network cable. There is no password required, or ISP username or passwords. With other OS' it is plug and play. I've gone through the connection wizard properly, multiple times, and the system acknowledges that I am connected to eth0. The test funciton works correctly, I select DCHIP and everything goes smoothly. But when I try to browse, no sites will open. There is even an icon on the bottom right tray that reads "Network Connection: eth0" I've read many other posts and have tried everything suggested, to no avail. Here is the response when I type "ifconfig" into console: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:36:7E:47:99 inet addr:169.254.236.239 Bcast:169.254.255.255 Mask: 255.255.0.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:258 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:1 frame:1 TX packets:78 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:233323 (227.8 KiB) TX bytes:15816 (15.4 Kib) lo Link encap: Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:247 errors:0 dropped:0 overrun:0 fram:0 TX packets: 247 errors:0 dropped:0 overrun:0 carriers:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes: 20128 (19.6 KiB) TX bytes:20128 (19.6 KiB) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I prompt the console "cat /etc/resolv.conf" I get cat: /etc/resolv.conf : Too many levels of symbolic links. I've tried restarting and reconfiguring the network wizard time and time again. Any other input or suggestions are appreciated. Thank you in advance. |

Hi Kazamterk,
# cat /etc/resolv.conf # Generated by dhcpcd from eth0 # /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line nameserver 192.168.2.1 # /etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line This /etc/resolv.conf is a simple text file: # ls -la /etc/resolv.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 147 2011-11-29 11:48 /etc/resolv.conf # Sorry, but why Linux Puppy 4.20? wary5.20 should also be good for "old" hardware. I am using wary and internet has always been setup automatically. Hope that others will give better answers

This problem has been around forever with certain network connections. Do a Puppy forum search for "resolv.conf". The general consensus is to delete the current file /etc/resolv.conf and replace it with something like
