I need a little help here....

My linux (Fedora Core 2) can connect to the net using kPPP without any known errors, but although I had connected to the net with kPPP, I can't browse the web, as though I am offline. Even other programs like kopete (instant messenger) can't connect too.

But when I connect to the net using the network configuration, I can browse the web, but it's very slow (1 kb / s). Why is this?

Can anyone help me plz? Thx to those who helped.

I had the part with the connection but no browsing.
DNS settings were asuming that I were a DNS server, so it was only asking itself for DNS adresses.

Change the configuration so that the IP of your ISP DNS server is the first entry in your
/etc/resolv.conf

You can check if this is the problem by entering an IP address in your browser instead of a DNS name.

If you can browse IP address but not DNS name this is the problem (and solution)

Thx for the help, I did what u said but it didn't work. So I tried to solve this problem by entering my DNS IP Address manually, then I disabled existing DNS servers during connection. It works and I can connect using kppp and browse the web at the average speed of 5 kb / s, faster than when I browse the web with windows. Problem solved.

I dont know how to get the DNS IP Address, I ping the site wich is www.coqui.net and i put it manually and check the disable existing DNS servers during connection and it connects but very,very slow less than 1 kb/s

I don't understand what you mean.

If you mean you don't know the IP's of your ISP's DNS servers, if you have windows, connect to the internet with the account and from a command shell type.

Also Dissabling the ipv6 support will accelerate a lot your DNS lookups.
In FC2, you do that by adding
in /etc/modprob.conf

hi there

u need to put an entry of u r nameserver i.e ur ISP DNS server

if u do not know what it is then , as soson as u connect to the internet using ur dialer

run this

tail /var/log/messages


there will be an entry like this
-------
Dec 27 12:54:51 gaurav kernel: PPP generic driver version 2.4.2
Dec 27 12:54:51 gaurav pppd[3727]: pppd 2.4.2 started by root, uid 0
Dec 27 12:54:51 gaurav pppd[3727]: Using interface ppp0
Dec 27 12:54:51 gaurav pppd[3727]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS0

Dec 27 12:54:53 gaurav pppd[3727]: remote IP address 202.XX.XX.XX
Dec 27 12:54:53 gaurav pppd[3727]: primary DNS address 202.XX.XX.XX
Dec 27 12:54:53 gaurav pppd[3727]: secondary DNS address 211.XX.XX.XX

-----

if u cannot find an entry liike this then do

vi /var/log/messages
and look out in the whole file for an entry like this

so u can see ur primary DNS server adress
so put that entry in ur /etc./resolv.conf like this

nameserver 202.21.12.12

where 202.21.12.12 is the primary DNS address


save this file and try browsing

regards

Thanx it works perfectly

going further on this

the best thing is to run caching name server
for that u need to start ur named service
after putting this in to ur resolv.conf

nameserver 127.0.0.1
then
service named start
