Assuming that your settings were correct (they should have been since you were |
| 19 |
connected fine before this incident) don't start changing them to try to |
| 20 |
reconnect. You can instead try troubleshooting your connection/DNS servers |
| 21 |
(are they listed in your /etc/resolv.conf if you're using a modem, or is your |
| 22 |
gateway listed there if you are using a router). What errors |
| 23 |
does '/etc/init.d/net.eth1 restart' show? |
