Before you do anything else from a console prompt type in
Ping 207.25.71.5
If you get back a reply, then your internet connection is set up and you
are having DNS problems which is likely.

Subject: [newbie] Can't get on-line
I'm using MD 8, KDE 2, and kppp. The modem is an external US Robotics
56k.
Kppp says it has logged on successfully. However, I can't go anywhere
after
logging on with a browser. I tried Netscape and Konqueror and Mozilla.
None
seem to be able to go anywhere on the net. I tried addresses I know are
good like Google and addresses from their bookmark list.
I use the same primary and secondary DNS IPs that I use in W98's DUN
where
they work fine.
I wrote about this earlier and was told to try:
1) Adding CR at the end of /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
2) Commenting out 'Gateway' line in /etc/sysconfig/network
I used a '#' for the comment symbol and followed these instructions.
I haven't tried e-mail or news aps yet.
Any suggestions? Another modem program?
TIA
Ken
