Hi
My network manager is able to recognize the local area network but unable to connect in the KDE.
I have a Toshiba Satellite. I have tried a number of things but nothing seems to work.
Thanks!
What is the output of the following?
/sbin/ifconfig
cat /etc/resolv.conf
nslookup google.com
The result post running the code in the Terminal window as a Super user was:
connection timed out; no server could be reached
IS there anything else I could do?
This problem happened after the last update, I have tried reinstalling but to no avail.

stop trying to reinstall…that is most likely a waste of time!
you were asked to put these into a terminal and report the output:
/sbin/ifconfig
cat /etc/resolv.conf
nslookup google.com
you were not asked to do it as root!
you should type the first line and press enter, and something like
this (but different) should come up:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0B:6A:BC:12:C5
inet addr:192.168.1.102 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

TX packets:608 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

RX bytes:28190 (27.5 Kb) TX bytes:28190 (27.5 Kb)
as far as i know it is absolutely impossible for what you reported
“connection timed out; no server could be reached” to be returned!
then, the second line [cat /etc/resolv.conf] should typed in, press
enter and the return should be something like this (but different):
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 156.154.70.1
nameserver 194.192.21.151
again, it is impossible for a “time out” error to be returned…
then, the third line [nslookup google.com] typed in and entered should
return like:
Server: 156.154.70.1
Address: 156.154.70.1#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: google.com
Address: 173.194.37.10
and, doing that is a lot faster than reinstalling…AND, it gives the
networking gurus here a chance to know what is going on in your
machine…without knowing that, you can’t get help here…
ok, i see it is your third post here…if you are new to Linux you
should say so…
welcome, but please do as asked…thank you.
