Maybe you have not received this e-mail, as I didn't receive it on the list, so I'm sending it again. It seems my connection is not too fast as it was in Fedora Core 6. I'll try another ISP later. The velocity connection is the line on the wvdial output 'CONNECT 46667', meaning 46.7 kbps, isn't it? If is it, it should be faster than it seems now. >>begin of message: Hi guys, I'm already writing to you from my new 'linmodem' connection! Jacques, as you said, the ifconfig was showing one more interface than lo and ppp0. It was showing virbr0, an ethernet connnection that was misconfigured on the epoch of my Fedora 7 installation. The problem was solved by simply getting rid of the line 'search itelefonica.com.br' on /etc/resolv.conf and replacing 'nameserver itelefonica.com.br' by simply 'nameserver'. At the end, I hav the following /etc/resolv.conf: #itelefonica.com.br nameserver 200.204.0.138 nameserver 200.204.0.10 #ig.com.br #nameserver 200.225.159.124 #nameserver 200.225.159.126 Where i have left the '#' lines just to be able to distinguish the ISPs. Thank you guys, I'll try to follow the same steps when I upgrade to Fedora 8, until the end of the month (probably this week), and I will wait for your news about Fedora 9, when you be able to deal with this distribution too. Sorry for my poor English. I'll probably put all this work on a tutorial on my webpage (if you agree), in Portuguese and English, giving you the credits, of course. In the future, take a look: http://www.astro.iag.usp.br/~jfernando Regards, Fernando.
