Firefox not working ! Slackware 12.0
 
Hello Geeks;
I have a problem. I am using slackware 12.0. I am able to connect to the internet, but my firefox is not working properly. Basically It starts up properly but says "server not found". Is it something related to PPPOE configuration?
I checked via IFCONFIG. I was connected.

How do you know you're connected to the internet ?

Does '/etc/resolv.conf' exist ? is it sane ? it should contain nameservers.

What kind of internet connection do you have ? do you have a router ?

When i used IFCONFIG command i could see my PPPOE connection.
I also used NMAP. I am very much able to use it.
But when i open firefox and enter for any site; It says "Server not found"

I have a modem and I am using broadband connection over a telephone line.

'/etc/resolv.conf' does not exist.

What should i do ?

Is there a resolv.conf in '/etc/ppp' ? If so, and it has some nameservers in there, link it up one level to '/etc'.

It should look something like:
Code:
# Generated by dhcpcd for interface eth0
search lan
nameserver 192.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver 193.xxx.xxx.xxx
or similar.
