Hoorah! I got Mandrake installed successfully, and everything seems to
work except for one BIG problem. For some reason, my Netscape, FTP and IRC
connections all come up and tell me that connections to the servers have
been established. However, it then just sits there and seems like nothing
is getting into my machine!
When trying to load a web page, Netscape says "Host contacted: waiting for
reply" and that's as far as she goes.
When using FTP, it tells me the connection has been established, but I
never receive anything, no matter which FTP server I visit.
The modem seems to connect up to the internet just fine and shows it is
both transmitting and receiving properly. I entered two DNS IP addresses
when asked by Kppp and must be set up correctly because I am making
connections successfully. Only problem is that no information flows after
the connection has been established.
When using IRC, it doesn't even connect up to an outside IRC server at all!
What on earth did I do wrong?
