If you saw two addresses that said DNS, you may add them to /etc/resolv.conf. For instance, in my computer when wvdial connects, I get to see: [root@localhost ~]# wvdial --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATZ ATZ OK --> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 OK --> Modem initialized. --> Sending: ATDT7072000 --> Waiting for carrier. ATDT7072000 CONNECT 49333 V42bis --> Carrier detected. Starting PPP immediately. --> Starting pppd at Fri Aug 1 14:10:35 2008 --> Pid of pppd: 25581 --> Using interface ppp0 --> pppd: 2 --> pppd: 2 --> pppd: 2 --> pppd: 2 --> local IP address 66.201.8.112 --> pppd: 2 --> remote IP address 66.201.8.6 --> pppd: 2 --> primary DNS address 66.201.0.203 --> pppd: 2 --> secondary DNS address 66.94.120.9 --> pppd: 2 The last two, I add to /etc/resolv.conf so that it looks like [olivares@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 66.201.0.203 nameserver 66.94.120.9 Do you get the same DNS servers both times when you connected? If you do, all that it takes is to add those two last DNS entries to /etc/resolv.conf Do it by $ sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf and add the nameservers. After doing this, can you browse?
