gommans Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Hi there, Just installed 9.2. Looks great! Only my winmodem, with intel 536ep chip, doesn't work. I downloaded the latest drivers from the intel-website and installed fine. When I connect everything seems to work, but I can get no webpage to load. I succeeded once in getting www.google.com on my screen, but that's it. My ISP doesn't give IP-addresses of the DNS-servers, but everything works fine under XP (as you can see) and it worked perfect under SuSE 8.2, after installing the 536ep-RPM. I read somewhere the problem might have something to do with my unused ethernet card. It has installed, but I don't use it at the moment. Suggestions please! With kind regards, Marcel Gommans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalee Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Hi, I've had this problem myself. For me it's my firewall that causes the problem ( I hate Shorewall). Just disable it and see if you can surf with it down. If you can, then you will need to either change some firewall settings via GUI, or hand edit the rules files for what ever firewall your running. HTH, dalee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gommans Posted December 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 Hi, sorry but I haven't installed a firewall yet. I'm still busy installing Mandrake 9.2 and I didn't get to that part yet. Any other suggestions please!?! With kind regards, Marcel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyv Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 can you ping externel ip addresses? open a terminal window and type "ping 216.239.59.99" (google.com) without the " 's or 213.232.94.69 (mandrakeusers.org). If you can then it will be a name resolution problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Another thing to check is that the dialer program forgot to change the routing table. Type route -n as root and tell us what the output is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gommans Posted December 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Hi there! Thanks for the fast reactions. I tried a few things: Ping 216.239.59.99 worked without problems. Ping www.google.com worked just as well. (So name-servers are ok?) rout -n gave the following output: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 212.151.128.91 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 212.151.128.91 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 I haven't got a clue what to do now. Any Ideas? Thanks! Marcel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 Hmm.. if you can ping www.google.com (and receive an ip number) then you should be able to browse webpages ok. And your routing table seems perfect. So I have a feeling that the problem is in the web-browser, not networking. What do you use for web browsing? What is your /etc/resolv.conf file say?

gommans Posted December 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 Thanks guys for helping me out! I solved the problem by installing the latest 536ep tgz from linmodem.org instead of the latest version from intel (version 453 instead of 462 or something like that). This did the trick! I haven got a clue why this one works, but I'm glad to say it does! With kind regards, Marcel Gommans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griptypethyne Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 I have a similar problem Here is what I did: In Konqueror entered a URL. Timed out. Pinged 213.232.94.69. Worked ok. In Konqueror entered 213.232.94.69. Timed out. Pinged 213.232.94.69. Worked a few times then received a "No Buffer Space Available" error message. Logged in as root and entered route -n. Result was: 192.168.242.66 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 u H 0 0 0 ppp0 plus a line that looked like localhost. I have two questions: (a) Any idea what the problem is? (B) Where on linmodem.org can I fine the updated 536ep driver? I have looked at the site and am totally confused about where to find the driver. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griptypethyne Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 :D :D :D :D Please disregard my previous message. I downloaded the 4.68 driver from the Intel siter and it works. In fact, this message is sent from Linux. Just 6 days since I obtained the Mandrake disks and I am up and runnng with Linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gommans Posted June 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 Nice to hear it worked for you. I have downloaded 10.0 but have finished using mdk, because I couldn't get my adsl running with it. No hints anywhere. I'm running Mepis Beta 5 now without a problem!
