This sounds like a DNS issue. Have you for a router? Are you directly connected to a cable modem, or a DSL modem? ( no router )?

i am using a cable internet
i have configured my ip address
when i ping to 10.12.1.1 which is provided by my internet service provider it connects to this address and when i enter username and password it logins.

this means ethernet card is fine and i am able to login but why i am not able to browser any other site except this.

So can you do this.

edit your /etc/resolv.conf file and put your DNS server ip there. And see you can.

You can try to ping this 209.85.231.147. It is google. And if you can then it is definitely DNS issue.

Become root, and use any editor you have installed. resolv.conf is a simple plain text file.

Here is what mine looks like...

Quote:

cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220

Just substitute the nameservers for your ISP where my IP's are.
