adelphia cable on linux

[Todd Wirth]

There are some options to dhcpcd that might be working against you. You're
probally just having name resolution problems. Check the file
/etc/resolv.conf

If it's empty the dhcp client is probally being run with the -R option which
prevents dhcpcd from overwriting the /etc/resolv.conf file. The file stores
your name servers, and domain information.

dhcpcd -k (will kill the client)
dhcpcd [interface] (will start the client again on an optional interface
(eth0 is probally yours))


I'm running my own DNS server, but I have these two IPs from a while ago
which I think are valid. You could put this in /etc/resolv.conf and it
should work:

nameserver 24.48.33.2
nameserver 24.48.33.3

Some utils to test name resolution are nslookup and dig.
Typing: dig www.adelphia.net
Should yield:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
www.adelphia.net.       21908   IN      A       64.8.50.26

Hope that helps,

Hi,

This is a rather simple problem, but for some reason
can't figure it out.

Just got adelphia cable. Works fine in windows, but
doesn't in linux (Mandrake 8.0). I get the IP address
from dhcp server and it shows up when i do ifconfig,
but none of my browsers work. Is there any other thing
I need to configure? Thanks.

Umar
