qeldroma Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 When i am trying to browse with a non-root user, all i get is a "host not found". Pinging doesn't work. If i su from this user to root, i can suddenly ping everything and start up browsers without any probs to connect to some sites. Anybody???

hippocampe Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 what type of internet connection do you you have? For example with ADSL, only root is allowed to start the connection by default. You have to explicitly allow users to start the connection. For example, I use rp-pppoe and there is a box that you have to check to allow non-root users to start the connection.

qeldroma Posted March 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 Well, it's pppoe, but it IS started while starting up, so internet exists while trying, but only root is capable to use it?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippocampe Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 Hmmm, strange :roll: It looks like your permissions are all messed up. Just in case, what level of security did you choose when installing? You can check it in MCC->Security Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeldroma Posted March 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 Just "Standard". It worked in the beginning, but after some restarts of the PC... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeldroma Posted April 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 I don't know nothing whatsoever about why it happened, but my /etc/ppp/resolv.con had no reading right for non-owner..... So, problem solved ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
