Rima, One way of troubleshooting your connection is to open up another terminal andtake a look at /var/log/messages and look for an error message from there. Another possibility is that the file /etc/resolv.conf does not have the For instance, I use Awesomenet INChttp://www.awesomenet.net/support_serversettings.html as my ISP and it has the the followingDNS for all area codes Primary: 168.215.176.2Secondary: 12.176.80.9 It sufficed to add two lines to /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 168.215.176.2nameserver 12.176.80.9 Check the DNS(Domain Name Servers) for your ISP and add that to the/etc/resolv.conf file. Otherwise, If the issue is not resolved,please feel free to take a look at Jacques post-install page: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/post-install.html Hope this cures your problem.
