can you ping an IP address??? or no ip or domain??
try: ping 139.130.4.5 If that works, but pinging domains does not.. then you need to add a nameserver to /etc/resolv.conf your ISP should be able to tell you their name server IP... rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Gil Katz Sent: Thursday, 19 December 2002 7:33 PM To: 'Brian Parish'; Linux NewBie (E-mail) Subject: RE: [newbie] Using Internet I'm using modem and the modem connects to the internet and from then nothing And I not using Firewall. -----Original Message----- From: Brian Parish [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 19, 2002 1:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Using Internet On Thu, 2002-12-19 at 21:53, Gil Katz wrote: > Hi > I got mandrake 9.0 and when I connect to the internet I can do nothing I > mean > I cant surf I can't send and receive mail I cant even ping. > Does anyone got an idea? > Gil > You'll need to give some details on what you have set up. Is this a dial-up connection, cable, DSL? Firewalled? What seems to work and what doesn't? Does it seem to establish a connection? What's the output of: ifconfig? Lots of help available here, but not without something to go on. cheers Brian
