Raspberry pi connection problem?

[JaZZCooL]

hello,
I just setup up my raspberry pi after a long time but the thing is my network is not getting connected to the internet.

Steps I followed to connect

1) Since I am on the motel internet I have to go to the browser each time I connect to put in the password and connect to the internet.

2) So instead of doing the same for my raspberry pi I created an ad-hoc connection from my windows 8.1 and used that to connect to my raspberry pi

3) It says that I am connected to the network but whenever I try to open up a website in midori it says "Cannot resolve hostname"

I would highly appreciate your help.

I suspect this is a 'Windows' problem, nothing to do with the RPi. You probably need to investigate the configuration of 'network sharing' on the windows machine - this is probably not enabled by default.

Try these commands and post the outputs:

Code: Select all

ping -c4 8.8.8.8
ping -c4 google.com
cat /etc/resolv.conf

Can't resolve hostname means there's no entry in your /etc/hosts file with the hostname and IP address 127.0.1.1
