Re: No Internet Connection

Your computer's IP address on the local network is 192.168.1.1.
This is the value you gave it with the ifconfig command
> 	ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
> 	route add default gw 192.168.1.1

#ifconfig

will report this same informationback to you.

The error

sound like you are actually getting through to your computer via the
network, but that your computer either has a firewall installed and
configured to refuse http connections, or you aren't actually running
any web-server software.

Assuming you set the firewall on during the setup, run lokkit and set
the firewall to allow http services.
