Ok /wsr/, I was dicking about with puppy linux and now I somehow fucked up my internet connection.

I have no idea what is causing it, eth0 says it is able to locate a live network and Auto DHCP tells me that Network Config of eth0 was successful, but SeaMonkey tells me that the addresses I try couldn't be found.

I have uninstalled all packages I installed, tried switching ethernet cables, reset the router, ran Auto DHCP five hundred times and tried switching network modules with auto-probe with the puppy network wizard. Google isn't giving me any relevant results, and I am too much of a retard to figure it my self it seems.

I know that there isn't a hardware error since I got online when I made a new puppyfile/pupsave and ran auto DHCP on that. Both puppyfiles have the same network modules loaded.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to fix this?

First of all, check whether you have local connection by pinging your router :
$ ping 192.168.0.1 (or something like that)

Then check whether you have internet connection:
$ ping 8.8.8.8

Then check whether you have DNS:
$ ping google.com

If all three pings are OK, check that no proxy is configured in your DE nor in SeaMonkey.

I get a response on both the local and internet test, the DNS test gives me:
>ping: bad address 'google.com'

Add these 2 lines to your /etc/resolv.conf:

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

These are Google's DNS, feel free to change afterward if it works.

>/etc/resolv.conf
I found a symbolic link to /etx/ppp/resolv.conf
And there I find another symbolic link, but this time to ../resolv.conf

Seems like a program dicked with the resolv files, because I have never even been into the ect folder before this.

Anyway, I copied the resolv.conf from my working pupsave into the one without internet and now it works.

Thank you anon(s?) for taking the time to help, I really appreciate it!
