adept is not working over network

Post by usamahashimi »

Hi
I have installed Kubuntu 8.04 in my office PC which is connected to a router, I am using static IP address because dhcp is not working, first I try to browse internet but failed, then I found that I have to use IP address in browser-settings, then I was browsing finely, now I figured out that adept manager is not downloading anything and I dont know why its happening! Can it be a DNS issue or something else? How can I resolve this problem?
Thanks

Use following name servers and if your problem persist please show your configuration.

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

No, this isn't working;
When I am using dhcp, my configuration is;

Code: Select all

usama@alpha007:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0
and

Code: Select all

usama@alpha007:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
### BEGIN INFO
#
# Modified_by:  NetworkManager
# Process:      /usr/bin/NetworkManager
# Process_id:   4909
#
### END INFO
And with manual IPs and nameservers;

Code: Select all

usama@alpha007:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0

iface eth0 inet static
address 172.17.4.180
netmask 255.255.0.0
gateway 172.17.4.1

auto eth0

Code: Select all

usama@alpha007:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
### BEGIN INFO
#
# Modified_by:  NetworkManager
# Process:      /usr/bin/NetworkManager
# Process_id:   4909
#
### END INFO

nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220

well you have to add that if you want to use internet as they are not running it transparently and you can not install isa client in your linux box. well to bypass your office security checks you can try some anonymous proxy.
