cant access internet
 

I cant access internet on redhat 8.0, I get connected to dial up internet connection, I have put ISP DNS information in resolv.conf, I used to work on rh 7.2 successfully which was upgraded to 8.0

How does your 'route' result look like when you're connected?

i think there is conflict between ip ...
in log messages error shown like these .it is unable to connect
hotplugnet.in
but icannt understand it

install a fresh rh9

hey i have the same prob with RH9.. i ge tconnected with the dial up. but i cant seem to browse with mozila and any other browser.
its keeps saying on the status bar "resolving host (address)"

Mara, what do you mean when you said 'route' ?

im really a n00b. and i really need help with connecting to the net with browsers. thanks in advance.

mine is a fresh RH9 too..

sounds like your dialup provider isnt giving you any dns.

You could use the cd's and install bind/named

and set your dialup connection to use the local machine as a dns server.

just install named and start the service
service start named

use setup to set named to startup on boot.

any suggestion to give reinstall ppp
then i can recover my problem

btw i can use the dns my isp gave me with my winxp. thats what im using now.

and i tried two different ISP's already.. :(

i would seriously give a local dns install a definate try. Especially on a dial-up :D

hmm. i will try it. thanks for the advice. btw i installed all the packages, so that means i already installed it right??

possibly, try activating it
service named start

tried it and i still cant browse...

your dial-up set to use your local dns?

dns server = 127.0.0.1 ?

can you ping yahoo.com ?

hmm.. yes i can acces yahoo through its IP add. but when i click on anything on it, it goes to the resolving host... again..


hmm how do i know that i set my dial up to use local dns?
