problem with us robotics modem and mdrk10


Hi, there!
been trying all night to get my "us robotics message plus" - modem to work.
The modem is recognized, and it dials in neatly to my provider. But once the connection is established, nothing happens anymore. it cannot connect to any outside machine. This looks almost like the dns-server of my provider is down. It isnīt though, I tried with windows.

Anybody any suggestions?
Thanks
atzalan

Did you put in your DNS servers address?

did you try to ping anything and see if that works. I had a problem kinda like that awhile back and it ended up being something with my network card so trying I was told to ping something.

type

ping www.google.com and then press ctrl+c and see if any of the packets went through

and then try

ping 64.233.161.99 and then press ctrl+c and see if any of the packets went through

from what I understand if the second one worked and the first one didn't then it probably has something to do with you DNS servers.

if neither of the worked then try " ifconfig eth0 10.10.1.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 " as root and then see what happens. I'm pretty new to this so if that doesn't help sorry but that's the best thing I could come up with.
