From: E. Charters on 1 Feb 2005 16:12 hmmmmm... well you said DNS is automatic. You can't ping but you can traceroute. Weird. ifconfig is finding ppp0 but something else isn't. In slackware, I would start over and use netconfig and manually, using the two DNS's that you were given herein enter them in /etc/resolv.conf do the setup again, drop to a terminal window and run ping, traceroute and ifconfig. I presume you can cntrl-alt-F3 or whatever and get a terminal window from KDE. It is not that uncommon condition that one can connect to the ISP but not get beyond that. Try pinging the ISP's connection IP that you get from ifconfig. here that was 209.247.5.129 Then try pinging a world IP and a world dotcom. Your routing may not be set up correctly. Do a route -n and a "netstat -r -n" once up to get a feel for that. To set your routing correctly you may have to do some reading on networking.

Press Details. 2. In the window presented you will find Remote IP. 3. Copy the Remote IP-number (called REMOTE_IP below). 4. in the terminal write the following: route del default; route add default gw REMOTE_IP 5. try to browse the internet now. > ANTian-AXP:/home/ant# kppp > Link points to "/tmp/ksocket-root" > QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used > QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used > Link points to "/tmp/kde-root" > QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used > QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used > kbuildsycoca running... > KWrited - Listening on Device /dev/pts/2 > Opener: received SetSecret > Opener: received OpenLock > > Opener: received OpenDevice > Opener: received ExecPPPDaemon > Kernel supports ppp alright. > In parent: pppd pid 3008 > Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device > Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device > Opener: received OpenResolv > Opener: received RemoveSecret > Opener: received RemoveSecret > > -- > > In another terminal window to test dial-up network basics like pings: > > ant(a)ANTian-AXP ~ =) $ ping yahoo.com > > ant(a)ANTian-AXP ~ =( $ ping 66.94.234.13 > PING 66.94.234.13 (66.94.234.13) 56(84) bytes of data. > From 192.168.0.220 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable > > --- 66.94.234.13 ping statistics --- > 4 packets transmitted, 0 received, +1 errors, 100% packet loss, time 3010ms > > ant(a)ANTian-AXP ~ =( $ /usr/sbin/traceroute 66.94.234.13 > traceroute to 66.94.234.13 (66.94.234.13), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets > 1 ANTian-AXP (192.168.0.220) 1197.002 ms !H 2998.650 ms !H 2999.208 ms !H > > ant(a)ANTian-AXP ~ =) $ /sbin/ifconfig > eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:D0:B7:85:0A:3F > inet addr:192.168.0.220 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 > inet6 addr: fe80::2d0:b7ff:fe85:a3f/64 Scope:Link > UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 > RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 > TX packets:270 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 > collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 > RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:15929 (15.5 KiB) > > 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:468 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 > TX packets:468 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 > collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 > RX bytes:35140 (34.3 KiB) TX bytes:35140 (34.3 KiB) > > ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol > inet addr:4.232.180.137 P-t-P:209.247.5.129 Mask:255.255.255.255 > UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 > RX packets:14 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 > TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 > collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 > RX bytes:494 (494.0 b) TX bytes:87 (87.0 b) > > vmnet8 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:56:C0:00:08 > inet addr:172.16.31.1 Bcast:172.16.31.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 > inet6 addr: fe80::250:56ff:fec0:8/64 Scope:Link > UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 > RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 > TX packets:48 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 > collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 > RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) > > -- > > /var/log/messages showed: > Feb 1 00:46:36 localhost kernel: CSLIP: code copyright 1989 Regents of the University of California > Feb 1 00:46:36 localhost kernel: PPP generic driver version 2.4.2 > Feb 1 00:46:36 localhost pppd[3008]: pppd 2.4.2 started by root, uid 0 > Feb 1 00:46:36 localhost pppd[3008]: Using interface ppp0 > Feb 1 00:46:36 localhost pppd[3008]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1 > Feb 1 00:46:37 localhost pppd[3008]: PAP authentication succeeded > Feb 1 00:46:37 localhost kernel: PPP BSD Compression module registered > Feb 1 00:46:37 localhost kernel: PPP Deflate Compression module registered > Feb 1 00:46:37 localhost pppd[3008]: local IP address 4.232.180.137 > Feb 1 00:46:37 localhost pppd[3008]: remote IP address 209.247.5.129 > Feb 1 00:46:37 localhost pppd[3008]: primary DNS address 207.69.188.187 > Feb 1 00:46:37 localhost pppd[3008]: secondary DNS address 207.69.188.186 > > << I made KPPP disconnect since my Internet connection wasn't working. >> > > Feb 1 00:50:34 localhost pppd[3008]: Terminating on signal 15. > Feb 1 00:50:34 localhost pppd[3008]: Connect time 4.0 minutes. > Feb 1 00:50:34 localhost pppd[3008]: Sent 0 bytes, received 664 bytes. > Feb 1 00:50:35 localhost pppd[3008]: Connection terminated. > Feb 1 00:50:35 localhost pppd[3008]: Exit. > > Am I doing this all wrong?
