using redhat 7.3 with kde and kppp, ppp conection is established , i get a ip assigned by the isp and i can ping the isp dns and other servers but i cant ping to the rest of the internet why?
i cant ofcourse use licq or any webbrowser

have you set up your DNS server file? you need to put the IP address of your ISPs DNS server into the /etc/resolve.conf file so it looks like this

Code:

nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

That shows two servers and linux will start at the top and work down until it finds one that works.

P.S. this is in the forums already i think

You might also want to check /etc/rc.config and see what:

Code:

modify_resolv_conf_dynamically=

is set to.
I use SuSE 7.3 and mine =yes
