Cannot open webpages after establishing a dialup connection
Hello friend...
I have set up a dialup connection using my nokia N70 mobile.. The connection i think, is ok. but when i took a browser-epiphany or mozilla, i cannot open a webpage.. the browser tries to connect but times out.. It seems to be a problem in some settings(firewall, proxy or something) in debian, because im using the same phone to connect in windows XP.. I dont know how and where to check for the settings. Please help me..
My /etc/wvdial.conf and terminal window is given below...
My first bet might be DNS... try connecting to http://209.85.227.103 if google loads in this method then it's a DNS problem, if it doesn't work then have to look down a different path.
Hello r3sistance..
I hv tried to connect using the google link u hv given. But it is not working. I hv added the DNS address my service provider has given, to my /etc/resolv.conf file..
But the DNS specified in the message when connecting to net is the same as before and is not changed..
--> primary DNS address 202.148.202.3
--> pppd: �'h[08]H2h[08]�'h[08]
--> secondary DNS address 202.148.202.4
I hv also tried using apt-get update command in terminal. But i cant update or reload or anything..
Can you see the established connection in ifconfig? Look there. Then try pinging your DNS? Can you? Once you can then try resolving domain. If you can ping your DNS but can not resolve, its your DNS issue.
