bobterri Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 I got everything to work setting up my bcm9415m modem. I "modprobe snd-intel8x0m" and it installs just fine. Then I /usr/sbin/slmodemd --country=USA --alsa hw:1 It works. I configured KPPP and the modem comes on line, and tells me I'm connected at 49333!!!! Not bad, BUT I can't connect to any webpages in my browser. I cat /etc/resolv.conf search netins.net nameserver 167.142.225.3 nameserver 167.142.225.5 nameserver 167.142.225.4 I ping google and get: $ ping 216.239.39.99 PING 216.239.39.99 (216.239.39.99) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 216.239.39.99: icmp_seq=1 ttl=242 time=233 ms /sbin/ifconfig shows: $ /sbin/ifconfig lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:104 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:104 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:6530 (6.3 Kb) TX bytes:6530 (6.3 Kb) ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:167.142.11.168 P-t-P:167.142.225.54 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:15 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:15 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:218 (218.0 b) TX bytes:258 (258.0 b) Now what?

Guest anon Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Not to good on this subject, but this might give you some info. I tried pinging your IP and got this: ping 167.142.11.168 PING 167.142.11.168 (167.142.11.168) 56(84) bytes of data. From 167.142.225.54 icmp_seq=1 Time to live exceeded From 167.142.225.54 icmp_seq=2 Time to live exceeded From 167.142.225.54 icmp_seq=3 Time to live exceeded From 167.142.225.54 icmp_seq=4 Time to live exceeded A quick search on google sugests the problem is: Sample output 1 shows three instances of the ping command not succeeding. In the first instance, the packets exceed the time-to-live value, which is decremented to 1, indicating that packets are being rejected possibly because of a loop. In the second instance, the local router does not know the route to the host. In the third instance, there is no route to the IP address, which might be due to packets being lost on a remote router. Sample output 2 shows two instances of the traceroute command not succeeding. In the first instance, there is a loop between shared interfaces on R6 and R2, as indicated by the 10.1.26.1 and 10.1.26.2 appearing repeatedly. In the second instance, the path goes through R3 (10.1.36.1) to R2 (10.1.23.1) when it times out, as indicated by the asterisk (*). The timeout might be due to the absence of a route to the remote interface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobterri Posted January 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Thanks anon, I appreciate your help, however, you went a little bit over my head. Could you try to simplify what you found and offer any possible solutions? Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anon Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Sorry, but i just don't enough on this subject to offer any sugestions. Hopefully someone else here can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 i guess your packets do either get lost due to ipv6 or your mru/mtu is not working well. which browser are you using? if you use firefox or mozilla, type "about:config" in the adressbar. at the searchbar that pops up, type ipv. edit the "disable ipv6" from false to true by double clicking on "false". now try again connecting to any website. if it works, you probably have an ipv6 problem. if not, your mru/mtu packet setting might be wrong.

bobterri Posted January 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Hi artic, I'll try "about:config" later in the day, however, I have no problem surfing when I am using wifi or ethernet. I'd like to use Linux at work but I don't have broadband, so I need to get dial-up working or I'm stuck with Microsoft! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobterri Posted January 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 OK, I changed the settings in about:config and it did nothing. Same problem. So, what do I have to do to change mru/mtu packet settings. Besides, if the settings were off for mru/mtu why do browsers work with wifi and ethernet?

Qchem Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Check your firewall config in mcc (along with your security setting). Shorewall (the mdk firewall) sometimes blocks http via a modem. If you're not sure what you're doing try turning the firewall off and see if that helps.

arthur Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 shorewall blocks everything on interface ppp0. you have to disable it or configure it for that interface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobterri Posted January 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 According to MCC, I have no firewall. I go to security>firewall and it asks "Which services would you like to allow the internet to connet to?" I have "Everything (no firewall)" checked.

arthur Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 oh...I recommend checking out MCC if it has an option of setting the internet interface to ppp0. ping appears to work, would you like to test lynx or links? they're both command line web browsers. If you have them installed, try "links www.google.com" or something in the console. if they work then it's probably a browser problem...unfortunately I don't know much except for Firefox. reinstalll your browser? I'm out of ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobterri Posted January 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Yeah, I tried "lynx www.yahoo.com" Same thing as in firefox, mozilla, konqueror...it just hangs at looking for xxx.com I also configured ppp0 in MCC. Same thing. I feel like I'm so close! I'll bet it's just some little configuration somewhere. Too bad! Anybody else have a clue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobterri Posted January 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Check this out.

bobterri Posted January 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 I'm wondering if this might be a problem with pppd and not my smlink driver? I'd hate for this to be the end of the road on this issue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 have you already tried using different dns-servers in your etc/resolv.conf? (unlikely, i know, and i also guess it is firewall related but who knows?) p.s: forget about the mtu/mru packets, because you can ping the sites.
