How do you know you are connected to the internet?

Anyway, if you are connected to the internet and can't browse anything, it is most likely a dns issue. So either you have to enter a dns manually or reconfigure your connection to get a dns server adress from your provider.

thanks for your concern. i found similar experience with other mandriva users in the internet and tried their solution prior to my inquiry. the security and firewall settings using the mandriva control center was set to ppp+ which i tried and worked. but it's very slow. i'm using a 2.8 Ghz celeron processor. i just don't why the browser is very slow.

thanks again.
