I have dual boot windows XP and Slackware 12.
I use PPPoE to connect net.
IP: 10.8.192.65
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 10.8.188.1
DNS : 10.8.188.1
I am able to connect and ping the Gateway on Windows XP.Net works fine using the PPPoE dialer on XP.
On Slackware Unable to ping the gateway
whereas able to establish a pppoe connection on Slackware.
it shows ppp0 is up and running but not able to open webpages
As the others have pointed out you need to either update your IP address, subnet mask, or both.
Here is why,
10.8.192.65 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 will only be able to talk to hosts 10.8.192.1 - 10.8.192.254. Because your gateway( 10.8.188.1) is located outside of that subnet your computer will not be able to reach it.
I would suggest looking at your XP machines "ipconfig" output to determine what subnet mask it has and go from there.
I changed my IP to 10.8.188.2 - 10.8.188.255 range now i can ping the Gateway, DNS.
When i do pppoe-start, it shows connected. Still i am not able to browse.
What can be the problem now - I have turned my firewall off too.
