Re: no internet

can you ping out?
go into the terminal and input 'ping -c 5 www.google.com' and post the output.
also try pinging the router, 'ping -c 5 192.168.0.1' or whatever your routers default ip is.
this should help us narrow down where the problem is.

also, double check and make sure you have your rc.conf configured correctly.

Did your internet ever connect?  what did you do that might have affected this?
or is this one of those "I don't know what happened, it just stopped"
problems?

basically, I need more info to help you troubleshoot.
