i'm newbie here and i want to ask some problem here

i have settup ppoe and adsl connection using redhat linux 9. and when i use adsl-start to connect it seems working because it show "connected" and when i use adsl-status it show that the link is up and all the thing. but when i try to ping out to other website such as yahoo.com and trying to surf using mozilla it seem that there is no internet connection. so anyone here know why it happen
btw if anyone using streamyx please contact me hafriz@gmail.com i need some help here to setup my linux as gateway as i'm newbie in linux

pssst sorry for my bad english i hope you all know what i'm try to say :P

The english is just fine...
I would say that if you are behind a router (which from your explanation it doesn't seem like you are)the first place to start would be to see if the configured gateway is correct...
If thats ok check to make sure that you have a DNS server configured.
You can take a look at your /etc/resolv.conf to see if you have a dns server configured.

If that doesn't work post again, I'll check back.

1stly i didnt use router to connect. and i already check it and it is all fine but the problem still same. any other way ?

is there is anyone here can help me ?

can you ping ip addresses?
ie: try to ping 64.179.4.149
then try typing it into your mozilla - see if that works

nope... can't .. i have try it many time.. ping ip, ping web add.. nothing show

are you being assigned a valid ip address?

I entered 64.179.4.149 in my browser, and I saw a site that looked like LinuxQuestions.org

However, if I enter www.yahoo.com in my browser, I get the following message : www.google.com could not be found. Please check the name and try again.

OK - it's relatively rude to hijack threads. That aside:
Say WHAT?! It's trying to route www.yahoo.com to www.google.com? What you'd want to do is put your ISP's DNS servers into /etc/resolv.conf
You'll have to call tech support to get their DNS's
