I'm running linux 6.2 on an Intel machine that's configured to dual boot
Linux or Win95. My ISP is a Mom & Pop outfit that provides direct internet
via a T1 into my apartment building. When I boot Win95, all looks great,
but when I boot Linux I can't see the network; can't ping anything & can't
access the web from my browser. Again, Win95 works like a champ. Both OS
have same network parms. Linux is NOT complaining about anything network
related. Ifconfig shows eth0 looking good. My ISP (Mom & Pop outfit) will
only tell me that my static IP address is a virtual IP address. Just for the
hell of it I installed the same copy of Linux on an identical machine at
work & everything works great; does indeed see the network. So, the only
thing that I can think of is that Linux cannot deal with the network if you
use an ISP that provides direct Internet access via T1 and configs his
customers with static VIRTUAL IP ADDRESSES. I complained to the ISP & he
said it's not his problem because my Win95 works fine. Any ideas????????
Thanks in advance as I have been working on this problem for almost one
year.
