Hello again everyone, Replying to myself ... I appear to have resolved the problem with an /etc/resolv.conf: domain gateway search gateway nameserver 192.168.0.1 I had another ethernet on the lan with that address, and removed it, and now it works. ben -- bnis@fastmail.fm On Sat, Sep 14, 2019, at 3:25 PM, Ben Nisenbaum via luv-main wrote:
Hello everyone,
I've just connected to the nbn (FTTC) but can't get my debian computer onto the internet.
I tried changing /etc/resolv.conf to:
search gateway nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4
but it failed. If I write into the file: domain gateway "gateway" appears red, and it fails.
Before this nbn, the adsl modem was 10.0.0.138, which was in the resolv.conf but that didn't work, so it had to be deleted. The new modem has printed on its label: http://mymodem It's a Telstra Smart Modem Generation 2. I tried to bring up http://mymodem in the browsers firefox and w3m but both failed.
My /etc/network/interfaces is:
auto lo iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug enp3s0 iface enp3s0 inet6 auto
I've searched for info to help, but haven't succeeded. There are some GUI tools on ubuntu I saw, but I don't have them and I want to get the configuration that works into the relevant files.
So my question is, how can I get onto the internet with my debian computer with right configs?
Thanks.
ben
