My dialup to my internet provider works but I don't have access to internet

jsl06 · 06-06-2011, 01:12 PM

I have installed slackware 13.1 32-bit to space provided by windows 7 64-bit. I presently have just cli. My mmodem is a serial modem that is connected though a usb port. It works under windows. I have managed to dialup to my internet provider as evidenced by the addresses shown on the screen. The trouble is that I connot connect to the lynx organization or access the internet through links. Previously I had windows installed and konquerer gave similar results. I could not find any help in dmesg.

Hi,

Dial-up is way-back-when for me, so I hope I can help, found some docs to get started with

http://howto.gumph.org/content/insta...odem-in-linux/
and, a bit closer to home
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...tinues-318106/

Hope you get this fixed...not getting online is a nuisance...

some more detailled information is required to help you solving your problem.

Are you able to ping a known ip-adress? Did you check that default route on your system points to ppp0 device/ipadress? Did you enter correct name server in /etc/resolv.conf? Did you use wvdial to configure internet connection via modem?

Best you provide the output of

Code:

ifconfig -a

Code:

route -n

and

Code:

cat /etc/resolv.conf

after your internet connection is established.

Thank you for the referral Thor. However, I useed pnpdump and my modem was not recognized. Also, I installed software in Windows . The company does not claim to be pnp. To get pppd to work with the modem I had to create a link between /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/modem. While dmesg shows a recognition of the USB-serial adaptor, it does not show the modem. I believe that I need to tell the serial controller to look for the modem at ttyUSB0.
