Dial up internet
I have just insalled linux and am getting a second pc soon. i installed a nic card to ssh into the other box but i olny have dial up. when i dial up my internet on kde using kppp it logs on fine, but when i open netscape, mozzila, ect.... it wont even load simple pages like www.google.com ???????? i was wondering if it maybe is trying to connect by the nic and not the modem what do i do. Also when i pull up my hardware browser it calls my a u>S> robotics undername but everything is unknown????????:smash:

Try setting a default gateway for ppp0 to use.
check with route -n good luck! |
Identical Problem!
This is the identical problem I am having: my data is as follows:
When I connect to my ISP through Linux (Dial UP) I get passed my nameservers and my IP address through DHCP. However, I get no Gateway that I can see. I connect through windows and the gateway is passed through DHCP and is THE SAME as my IP! Therefore I am unable to enter a static gateway because it is always different each time I connect because of the DHCP Poolng... I have talked to my support and they want nothing to do with me or Linux. Any help is appreciated.... Jason :smash: |
make shure you have default gateways defined
#file:/etc/sysconfig/network GATEWAY="XXX.YYY.ZZZ" #an ip on your network GATEWAYDEV=eth0 #your local nic GATEWAY="0.0.0.0" #a place holder for the dynamic IP GATEWAYDEV=ppp0 #your dial up device Hope this helps Mark D |
Here is more info
I "XXX" out the first 3 charcters of the IP addresses.
ifconfig syas this: lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:XXX.34.100.125 P-t-P:XXX.185.130.163 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1514 Metric:1 RX packets:41 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:58 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 ============================================== When I ping to the nameservers. 50% of my packets are lost!! Very Strange... Here is what is looks like: Pinging nameservers. PING XXX.185.130.34 (XXX.185.130.34) from XXX.34.100.125 : 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from XXX.185.130.34: icmp_seq=0 ttl=126 time=114.997 msec 64 bytes from XXX.185.130.34: icmp_seq=2 ttl=126 time=109.961 msec 64 bytes from XXX.185.130.34: icmp_seq=4 ttl=126 time=109.958 msec 64 bytes from XXX.185.130.34: icmp_seq=6 ttl=126 time=109.959 msec 64 bytes from XXX.185.130.34: icmp_seq=8 ttl=126 time=109.958 msec --- XXX.185.130.34 ping statistics --- 10 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 50% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/mdev = 109.958/110.966/114.997/2.047 ms ============================================== My /etc/sysconfig/network file looks like this: NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain GATEWAY="XXX.YYY.ZZZ" GATEWAYDEV=ppp0 GATEWAY="0.0.0.0" GATEWAYDEV=ppp0 ============================================== When I ping my IP that is given to me through DHCP (Which is also my Gateway when connecting through windows) I get 100 percent of the packets back. I am at a total loss. To me is seems as though I have not configure my gateway correctly. But if this is the case then why am I receiving 50 percent of the packets? I checked my /etc/resolv.conf file and the nameservers are being put into this file when I connect. Hope you can help. Jason :confused: |
Run the route command first with ppp0 down.
(no entrys for ppp0) Then run it again with ppp0 up (now there should be 2 entrys for ppp0 if check your gateways again) Mark D |
Sorry to drive you nuts but....
Ok I ran the route command before and after. Here are the results, which to me look perfect, I think?
Before: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo After connecting via modem: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface XXX.185.130.163 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default XXX.185.130.163 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 :cry: Jason |
They do look fine!!!
Now check all of your script files may be a DNS problem or a modem problem. Good Luck!! Mark D. |

Modem problem
I think I have the same problem.
I use an external modem to connect. The dialing up has no problem. He says he's connected, and when I try the phone it is really in use. But when I want to surf, I get 'Error resolving host' Is this the same problem (and does any of your possible solutions work?) :mad: |
???dont know
Ireally dont know if
