well my kpp says im connected but when i tried to acces any site on mozilla. it just says resolving hostname. what shall i do???

please i really need help. thanks

Put your ISP's DNS sever's IP address in your /etc/resolv.conf file.

ok thanks. but before i can connect and i think i did not do something to resolv.conf.



before i just run kpp. enter my ISP's DNS server IP add and im on the net. can you please tell me what did(did not) i do that i wasnt able to connect?

Are you saying that before you just entered your IPS's DNS address and it worked. Then all of a sudden it stopped working?

It might be with your ISP. Usually you ISP's DHCP server will pass all the info to you when you log on. If you fire up your internet connection and then open you resolv.conf, There should be a section that says something about a temp DNS address. That is usually where that info is put by ppp. Maybe your ISP messed something up. Are you running a firewall or did you do something with your firewall that might have caused it?

yes i open the resolv and the DNS IP are there.

hmm im using my WinXp posting this. its really annoying swithcing back and forth..

but before i just run kppp and set up my con. i put my DNS IP on DNS tab. and choose where my modem is. and then i click ok and i typed my username and pass for my isp and i got connected and before i knew it i was surfing and posting.

but now i cant.

btw i set up high firewall when i installed linux...

hello?? anyone??

please help...

or maybe you guys can tell me exactly how to setup my internet con. maybe i screwed up something or maybe i forgot something.


so if someone can tell me how to setup my con from scratch. thanks.

Can you ping a server on the internet by it's IP address? Try 64.15.129.39.

okies.. ill try that. thanks for the reply...

yep. i can ping a server. i ping the server you want me to ping.

what should i do next?? mozila and the other browsers still cant connect to the net...

I've had a similar problem; ping worked but www didn't. You may try disabling the local dns by checking a checkbox in the dns page of the kppp config wizard. It worked for me...

btw i cant use the kppp wiz coz my ISP isnt on the list so i use the dialog setup.

i already click the disable any local DNS while connected, but still the same.

please? i really need some help! thanks for those that offered some solutions...

you are probably blocking dns with the firewall

detract firwall level

and looking for(check) your iptables service is up or down? try to change it!

and check the status of ipchains(is?)..
