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.
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?
(do you have a router or firewall that connects between the modem and your PC?)

where aaa, bbb and so on should be numbers, the numerical address of your ISP's nameserver.
If you don't know the numbers, ask Google to show you pages that contain the word nameserver and your ISP's name
