need help on internet connection setup
Hi, I am a newbie in linux, I just finished installing redhat 9.0 and it was able to detect my VIA VT86c100A Rhine-II PCI (D-link DFE-530TX) lan card. I was also able to create a xDSL connection using the network wizard. Both Ethernet and dsl connection was successfully activated.
When I typed in ipconfig in the terminal, ppp0 contained an ip address mapped by my network provider. However, whenever I try to access the internet (surf using mozilla), I always get an error message that the page can’t be found (for example, in accessing google.com, error message says: "google.com cannot be found. please check the name and try again.") -------- Below is the ipconfig result: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:3D:CC:77:C8 inet addr:10.0.0.7 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:23 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:22 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:1979 (1.9 Kb) TX bytes:1695 (1.6 Kb) Interrupt:9 Base address:0xd800 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:1381 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1381 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:93800 (91.6 Kb) TX bytes:93800 (91.6 Kb) ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:210.5.87.80 P-t-P:210.5.98.254 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1492 Metric:1 RX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:150 (150.0 b) TX bytes:54 (54.0 b) |
I hope that was ifconfig ;)
Can you ping 216.109.118.66 and ping www.yahoo.com It may be a DNS problem. Check /etc/resolv.conf It should contain a nameserver. You will need the primary (and its best to have the secondary in case there is a problem with the primary) dns nameservers of you ISP. Add them to /etc/resolv.conf like so nameserver IP_of_primary nameserver IP_of_secondary |
thanks for the help. my internet is now working.
