Can connect to ISP but get errors in netscape.
In Red Hat 7.2 I have my modem up and running after downloading and installing a module. When I connect to the internet via Gnome's ppp dialer I connect but when I try to surf to a website I get an error that says the host is unreachable. After trying to ping a website in the console (while still in Gnome) I get an error that says the network is unreachable.... I don't know where to start with this one because when I pick my phone up off the hook I hear modem noise so it's obviously connected to the ISP. Where do I start with this one??

You're halfway there. Hang on.
Read mini-how-to at www.linuxdoc.org It's very common on Linux & Windows when you didn't set the IP & DNS of your ISP. |
Configure DNS
Find out what your ISP's DNS servers are 1st.
vi /etc/resolv.conf, thats the DNS file. insert the following nameserver (ip address) ie: nameserver 207.69.188.185 nameserver 207.69.188.186 Hope this helps. -js |
Setting the IP didn't help under GNOME for some reason. But I switched my desktop manager to KDE and it works fine now. In fact I am posting from Konquer... thanks for the help!
