Unable to Browse the web Ubuntu Distro
hi peeps i have just completed my 1st ubuntu installation everything else is working fine i configured my net connection settings to my isp using pppoe. connecting direct using my dsl modem to my ISp . I have managed to get connected i have been assigned an ip address , but the problem arises when i try to browse the web.
pages are not loading i tryed disconnecting and reconnecting but the problem still occurs. are they any settings i have missed out or steps i have to take inorder to get it working. help is appreciated. |
1) ping 216.239.57.99
2) ping google.com --what're your responses? |
How did you setup your network connection? I notice you are using DSL, do you have a router or firewall that connects between the modem and your PC? If so, do you have the gateway and everything configured properly?

ping is not responding am getting timed out
(do you have a router or firewall that connects between the modem and your PC?) no its a direct connection , the configrations password for accessing my isp are all entered correctly, i have been assigned an ip address but am unable to browse the net .. tryd connectin my irc it aint connecting either. |
clarifications: does ping timeout for both?
run: route (as root --/sbin/route) |
What does ifconfig eth0 say
|

What does it say in /etc/resolv.conf?
It should say something like Code:
nameserver aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd If you don't know the numbers, ask Google to show you pages that contain the word nameserver and your ISP's name |
well my .config has the dns server and its correct
my dns is assigned to me by my isp 202.188.0.133 202.188.1.5 |
