Ethernet Recognised - no internet

[Nicktheviking]

Hi All,
Apologies if this has been raised before but my searches didn't find anything. I work for a university in Thailand and run Slacko 5.5 from a USB drive on various computers.

The university uses a sign-on system which brings up a sign-on page where I enter a username and password to log into the internet. This works with various browsers, various devices. The problem I have is when I use Slacko the Ethernet is recognised but the internet doesn't work. I simply get a message saying there is no internet. The same computers work with windows and where available with wifi.

I have tried Ubuntu and a couple of other distros and all exhibited the same problem so I guess this is not specifically linked to Puppy.

Anyway has anyone experienced a similar problem or have an suggested solutions?

Kind regards
Nick

Do you need to install a piece of Windows software to make this work?

Can Macs connect OK?

Most university IT departments are aware of Linux. I would contact them.

Android, IOS etc devices can connect so I don't think any additional software is required. I will speak to IT on Monday but the main problem is my Thai is low and the IT staff have a low level of English so I will probably need a student to translate. Anyway good practice for them. Thanks for the reply. Cheers Nick

We need more info to help. When you believe Slacko has the ethernet enabled, run the ifconfig and route commands from the console and post the output here.

Is that sign on to a domain server??

I have the same type problem.
It appears with every version (several) of Puppy I have tried
except for one (which I forget).
When I run the internet hookup app, it says I have connection,
but as soon as I hit a browser button ( or the 'connect' )
the connection drops.
Puppy is the only distro I have encountered ( lots lately ) ...
that even has a hookup app. The rest simply automatically work
(even TinyCore).

1) What is the reason for that ?

2) Is there 1 version of Puppy that has a differant setup ?
....( the one I tried that worked ( I'd try that again ))

3)Or am I simply missing something simple on the setup ?

Not a Dell.
Put together by computer store.
May I ask again ?
Is there 1 Puppy version that uses a differant
app to set up the connection than most of the
others ?

Touch nothing after booting any of those....

Thank You !
I'll get a fresh stick and try Lupu ..
And let you know how it works

[hitsware]

samo - samo w/lupu

@ 1st boot:
window comes up with choice of eth0 or win
chose eth0
window says:"successful connection to eth0 your internet
should be working"
but if I click 'connect' it starts over (no connection, choice of eth0 or win)
if I try browser or package manager no connection

> Whoa! ..........

The screen with the button for the firewall does
not come up with this Puppy.
(But it did with other versions)
