Ixthusdan Posted December 25, 2002 Report Share Posted December 25, 2002 A while back, maybe 7.1, I had that problem. I had misconfigured the networking segment of the install. How easy it is to forget that if you are on the internet, your in a network! Go into the Mandrake Control Center and double check your network setup. Also, make sure you have not inadvertantly set your security too high to allow access to the internet. I think the dialer program might work without the browsers being allowed to communicate if the security is wrong. Just some guesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted December 25, 2002 Report Share Posted December 25, 2002 What does /etc/hosts and /etc/resolve.conf say? I had this prob with 8.1, and I don't remember which one wasn't correct but one of these was my prob with browsers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyv Posted December 25, 2002 Report Share Posted December 25, 2002 are you not able to resolve host names? can you ping your isp by name? can you ping your isp by number? If you can ping by number but not by name it's a dns problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aru Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 you might want to check that the default route is set through your internet interface and links to your ISP: Connection establishes, holds, but you can't get anywhere (MUO docs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vdubjunkie Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 I have now had to figure this out the hard way several times.. hopefully this time I'll remember!! Like johnnyv mentioned.. can you ping a direct ip address but not the domain name? dns is likely the issue. However, make sure you have a routing table with a default gateway. netstat -r you should see something like the following: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 40 0 0 lo default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 40 0 0 eth0 you should at least have one "default gateway"If not add it with route add default gw 192.168.1.1 of course substituting your own numbers for the gateway. If you have a physical firewall, it will be that firewall's ip address, or if you run a proxy, it will be the proxy's ip.. otherwise, your isp should be able to give you a gateway. hope this is of some help to somebody.. the first time I did it, it took an awful long time to get it.

Guest adamsjw2 Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 Hi, I had the same problem and it was that my ISP wasn't consistently letting out DNS IPs. When I could pull a DNS automatically from the ISP, then all was well, if not I received the same error as you. FWIW, I'm using wvdial and it is much more reliable and once configured it very rarely fails. At least, if my ISP doens't let out the DNS, the I can see it in the terminal window and re-dial. Look at the resolv.conf file and see what IPs have been stored there. You might have to put your DNS in KPPP if you're not already doing so. I hope this helps, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest clivus Posted February 3, 2003 Report Share Posted February 3, 2003 I've had this problem. Mandrake has an errata page which gives the solution. Drakconnect (Mandake Control Center) is broken - it insists on getting a gateway address (which should be optional) which stops KPPP assigning the route or something.... Solution is to go to /etc/sysconfig??(or rc.d??)/network and remove the line that refers to the gateway. I also had to turn off my firewall completely to connect on dial-up!!! Useful. I'm getting pretty sick of Mandrake ****ing everything up with their custom config tools and am thinking seriously of going over to SUSE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
