network connectivity problem

Vignesh

Adept
I had recently installed Slackware on my friends pc. The problem is am unable to connect to the internet through it. He has a Airtel BB - uses a router instead of the modem. Funny thing is all was well the first time I installed Slackware. Then I was experimenting with DHCP and firewall after which I was unable to connect.

Thinking that my experiments would have screwed up something, I re-installed Linux yesterday ( formatted the partition again ). This guy has a static ip which I have entered in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf

ifconfig -a shows me the adapter as up and running.

( It is working fine when I boot using Win XP )

Anybody help?

Thanks,
Vignesh.
