Error 6: Unable to resolve host name - Morph OS 3.3
« on: October 03, 2013, 05:07:31 PM »
Hello, Dr. Chef here. I bought a iBook recently and installed MorphOS for the first time. The problem is that I'm unable to connect to the web. When I use OWB, I get an error (Error 6: Unable to resolve host name).

I went into settings and fiddled around with the network settings, but I'm unable to connect to the internet.

   What I've tried so far
 

  • Tried connecting with the default settings (DHCP)
  • I fiddled around with the static IP settings in MorphOS Preferences
  • Messed with the DNS settings.
  • Plugging and replugging the Ethernet cable


The computer I'm using is a iBook g4 1.2ghz. In network settings it says the network driver is sungem_eth.device:0


Has anyone had this problem before and/or have a solution?




Thanks,


Dr. Chef.

It was a bad ethernet cable. It works now.
