try

traceroute www.google.com

then

traceroute 64.233.169.99

do either complete? does the 2nd one take much less time than the first?

TQ for reply... after boot the com, i try ping google again, it show me "ping: unknown host www.google.com" , more worse now? then i try traceroute www.google.com, it show "www.google.com: Temporary failure in name resolution,Cannot handle "host" cmdline arg `www.google.com' on position 1 (argc 1)" ..so i try to traceroute 64.233.69.99, it show below :

I am very sure my route work properly, coz i use other com to connect it and can access to internet, so thinking is it F7 setting problem?

Hi

Try plugging the cat5e (cable into router from your external source, e.g. cable modem) directly into your NIC port. Then do:

# ifdown eth0
# ifup eth0

then see if you can broswe the web without delys, or if ping comes back, also try

# dig -t any .

Let's eliminate the router as the cause of the problem before continuing.

TQ for you help, before i try again what you want me to do, i found somethings funny..
i del the eth0 and add new b44 eth0 again to it, make it onboot=yes then restart F7 again, now i can reached www.redhat.com use firefox but that is only website i can reached, all other website will show me The connection has timed out, then i try traceroute again it show me below :

traceroute www.google.com

i am using aztech adsl2 route modem,so if plugging the cable directly into my NIC port, if totelly cannot online.. or i miss understanding what you mean?

the sec one is traceroute to 64.233.69.99

Today morning i try to connect it at office, and it work perfectly... so now i sure is my aztech router problem, maybe need config it. Do anyone know which section do i need to look at my aztech router? coz if i using winxp, it can connect and run no delay, but if at F7, it limited my connecttion, so what should i do to fix it? Hope can be solve it soon...
TQ all of you..

You have to have:

ONBOOT=yes

In the ifcfg-eth0 file if you wish the interface to automatically come up on boot, i.e. if you want the interrnet always up. Otherwise you need to manually do: ifup eth0 to bring it online.

you might want to check to make sure you don't have a WEP/WPA key for the router, if you do you would need a keys-eth0 file with the key inside of there.

if you still have issues you should try bypassing the router altogether, to take it out of the loop, otherwise troubleshooting further will be difficult since we would be trial-and-error bound.

TQ... i did got onboot=yes now... after i backed home i did try somethings again, but i dun understand what make it like this.. i open firefox search some website, google and yahoo cant reached, but redhat.com and linuxquestion.org can open to surf, try other more web, some can and cant, some of them slow and very fast.. what make it chose site to open? after that, i try ping google and yahoo at terminal, when ping google will show "PING www.l.google.com (64.233.189.104) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from www.google.com (64.233.189.104): icmp_seq=1 ttl=241 time=169 ms..." and yahoo is "PING www.yahoo-ht3.akadns.net (209.131.36.158) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from www.yahoo.com (209.131.36.158): icmp_seq=1 ttl=44 time=993 ms..", then using firefox to enter google and yahoo, now it both reached, but very slow to show all things...

can anyone tell me why? can anyone teach me how to fix it? TQ all

TQ Brad..

My problem is solve now, is all because of IPv6, i do double check about the modprode.conf again, found out the IPv6=off is missing, so i add it again, and i can online no delay now...

TQ FedoraForum..
