kppp problem (connected but not no transmition)
 

I've a Fedora3 box on my notebook with a Xircon pcmcia modem. the problem is after connection to internet by dialup nothing happens, no transmition.
what may be wrong?

Did you create an account under Kppp and input your ISP's information? No Transmission? Do you mean you can't browse the Internet get mail, or what?

I've created an account. everything is OK! but no packets sent or recieved.

Whoever your connecting with ISP, Work, Etc... Do they use Static or Dynamic IP? Do they require DNS entries, and have you put them? Proxy settings if needed?

KC

Dynamic IP. No proxy or dns setting.
It's odd. I've used this setting before. but after a reinstallation this happened

Open a terminal and try to Ping google.com

ping 216.239.57.103
and
ping www.google.com

see what results you get.

I had some problems before with ppp


Try some of this:

to check if you actually have the gateway configured by the DHCP server.

This will check if you have a DNS server
as kencaz recomended to see if the DNS on the /etc/resolv.conf is active.

If you follow all these and they seem to be ok, call the ISP because is not on your end man!!!.

You can also try the iptraf to be positive if there is any traffic at all.

After pinging nothing happens, then timeout occurs. DNS configuration in resolv.conf is OK.
I tried all other authentication modes, but nothing happens.
