dh2k Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 (edited) I have installed (or at least compiled) intel53ep source code driver from intel website using [as root] ./configure make 536 make install I have then configured kppp with my dialup account details and the modem dials, connects and logs onto ISP. But I cannot access the internet/pop3 mail accounts using konqueror, firefox, evoultion or kontact. The device works in winXP though. I am 100% certain that my dialup account details are entered correctly and 100% certain that the modem is an intel536ep chipset. I have had it working previously using the same tarball downloaded from intel site on Mandriva2006 on a previous installation. Also my phone line is engaged too when kppp shows as connected.

SoulSe Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 This could be a DNS problem. Perhaps try clearing out your /etc/resolv.conf file so that your service provider can provide the correct list of DNS servers for their service. Also try opening up a console and ping an IP-address, not a URL, like this: $ ping 196.25.1.1 If you can ping IP addresses, but not URLs (like ping www.google.com), then it is most certainly a DNS problem. EDIT: If your resolv.conf is empty to begin with, call your service provider and get the right nameservers from them to populate the file with.

scoonma Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 You should also check your firewall settings. If it's up and running during connect: Can you accesss webpages when it's down? HTH, scoonma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
