Networking :: How to get internet working in DSL?

Hi. I'm currently running Damn Small Linux 3.3 (off the ISO) in Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 with Shared Networking enabled. Another person that I know is also running DSL 3.3, in Virtual PC 2007 with Shared Networking, and internet worked for him without configuring any settings inside DSL. However, internet is NOT working for me inside DSL.

The little network icon at the bottom of the Virtual PC window has a flashing green and occasionally red light, which indicates networking is working, but I'm not getting any internet connection inside DSL. Anyone know what could be wrong? Thanks in advance. :cool:

How are you running it? Are you using some sort of livecd?
Is your drivers loaded? What shows up under `ifconfig`?
If you did the same steps as your friend, then it's probably something else, such as a firewall, or some kind of "protection," etc.

Yes, I'm running on it on the live CD. Here's what shows up under iwconfig:

Like I said, my friend had to do NO configuration in DSL itself, he just had to enable Shared Networking in the Virtual PC config (which I've done, but internet still isn't working). I checked my firewall, and Virtual PC is allowed access to the internet.

That's ifconfig, not iwconfig (I'm assuming you're not emulating wifi). Run this inside a terminal/console/tty. For drivers/modules you can use lsmod.

It may be easier for you to run System Stats and paste the saved log here ( think it gets saved somewhere like ~/stats.txt )

ifconfig:
ifconfig

lsmod:
lsmod

Oh, and BTW, I am using a wireless internet connection, but since the virtual machine is configured for Shared Networking, the virtual machine shares the internet connection on the host OS, and the virtual machine recognizes it as a regular internet connection.
