Not able to connect to Internet

Dear All,

I have an internet connection with 512kbs speed. I have PCLinuxOS installed on my laptop. when I boot the machine through PCLinxOS, I am not able to connect to the internet.

I am not getting IP/DNS entries/Gateway by my ISP. Can anyone please help me in troubleshooting this ?

But when the same Internet connection is connected to another Windows XP machine. Its working fine.

Thanks in advance..

Strange, When using LAN RJ45 cable straight from the modem to pc It should normally work instantly. Sure your cable or network card is ok and is it recognized by linux?

dialup, dsl, wired, wireless?
if dialup, use kppp or wvdial
if dsl use pppoeconf

pppoe
pppoe-relay
pppoe-start
pppoe-stop
pppoe-sniff
pppoe-status
pppoe-setup
pppoe-server
pppoe-connect
etc..

Could you please assist me ?

Yes repo, I did pppoe-setup, it asked few questions I answered all of them from which it created a configuration file ppppoe.conf

After this I tried

Code:

pppoe-start

..........TIMED OUT

I got above message, Still No luck..

I checked logs in /var/log/ppp/connect-errors, But file connect-errors is empty which is the alone file in /var/log/ppp directory

Can you please assist me how to proceed ?

Yes repo, it is being recognized by the system, I am not able to copy and paste the output here. It is showing output as shown below

Code:

/sbin/ifconfig -a

eth0  Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr: 00:1F:16:B3:B9:FD

      UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 MEtric

      ...................

      .................

lo    Link encap: Local Loopback

Anything else needs to be inspected ?
