Gord, With $ sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf try copying over the 142.161.130.154 142.161.2.154 and then test browsing. I don't understand why the 142.161.130.155 142.161.2.155 is appearning in /etc/ppp/resolv.conf instead. Did you stupulate these by hand in the KPPP conf. It is preferable to use an autoDNS choice, as IPs may change DNS servers You might try installing and using wvdial instead of KPPP or gnomeppp MarvS On Sun, Jun 7, 2009 at 10:30 PM, Gord Caswell<ve4jhj@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Marv, > I'm using KPPP as my dialer. > > I have a failure of gmail.com ping, but success of the IP for same. > > the output of ifconfig (after i shutdown eth0), is only lo with it's block. > > cat /etc/resolv.conf gives the following: > > /etc/resolv.conf Is a directory > > sudo tail -f /var/log/messages gives the following: > > Jun 7 21:10:55 CASWELL pppd[3896]: pppd 2.4.5 started by root, uid 0 > Jun 7 21:10:55 CASWELL pppd[3896]: Using interface ppp0 > Jun 7 21:10:55 CASWELL pppd[3896]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttySHSF0 > Jun 7 21:11:02 CASWELL pppd[3896]: PAP authentication succeeded > Jun 7 21:11:03 CASWELL pppd[3896]: local IP address 205.200.61.55 > Jun 7 21:11:03 CASWELL pppd[3896]: remote IP address 205.200.61.1 > Jun 7 21:11:03 CASWELL pppd[3896]: primary DNS address 142.161.130.154 > Jun 7 21:11:03 CASWELL pppd[3896]: secondary DNS address 142.161.2.154 > > > However, the DNS addresses in /etc/ppp/resolv.conf are listed > (correctly) as 142.161.130.155 and 142.161.2.155 maybe this is causing > the problem? > > Gord > --- > Gord Caswell > Box 327 > Arnes, MB R0C 0C0 > (204) 642-7045 (H) > (204) 641-4292 (cell) > www.caswellaquatics.ca > > > > On Sat, Jun 6, 2009 at 7:39 AM, Marvin Stodolsky > <marvin.stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> Gord, >> >> Which dialer are you using? >> >> If there is a failure of >> $ ping -c 2 gmail.com >> PING gmail.com (74.125.127.83) 56(84) bytes of data. >> 64 bytes from pz-in-f83.google.com (74.125.127.83): icmp_seq=1 ttl=234 >> time=102 ms >> 64 bytes from pz-in-f83.google.com (74.125.127.83): icmp_seq=2 ttl=234 >> time=99.2 ms >> >> But a success with the numerical address >> $ ping -c 2 74.125.127.83 >> PING 74.125.127.83 (74.125.127.83) 56(84) bytes of data. >> 64 bytes from 74.125.127.83: icmp_seq=1 ttl=234 time=100 ms >> 64 bytes from 74.125.127.83: icmp_seq=2 ttl=234 time=99.4 ms >> ======== >> then you are connected to the Internet but DNS (domain name service is failing) >> >> What is the >> $ ifconfig >> output before a dialout attempt, >> >> After a connect, the >> $ cat /etc/resolv.conf >> >> and dialout section at the end of >> $ sudo tail -f /var/log/messages >> after a connect. >> >> MarvS >> >> >> On Fri, Jun 5, 2009 at 11:54 PM, Gord Caswell<ve4jhj@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> > Marv, >> > Thanks for the prompt reply, however this doesn't help. all i have in >> > /etc/network/interfaces is the following: >> > auto lo >> > iface lo inet loopback >> > Any other thoughts? >> > Gord >> > --- >> > Gord Caswell >> > Box 327 >> > Arnes, MB R0C 0C0 >> > (204) 642-7045 (H) >> > (204) 641-4292 (cell) >> > www.caswellaquatics.ca >> > >> > >> > On Fri, Jun 5, 2009 at 9:26 PM, Marvin Stodolsky >> > <marvin.stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> >> >> Gord, >> >> >> >> Shut down other COMM channels before starting to dialout. >> >> Display channels with: >> >> $ ifconfig >> >> close all channels except "lo", the loopback with >> >> $ sudo ifconfig eth0 down >> >> $ sudo ifconfig wlan0 down >> >> etc for other channels. >> >> >> >> $ sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces >> >> to change the auto setup of unwanted channels. >> >> by changing lines like: >> >> auto eth0 >> >> to >> >> # auto eth0 >> >> >> >> MarvS >> >> >> >> >> >> MarvS >> >> >> >> On Fri, Jun 5, 2009 at 8:50 PM, Gord Caswell<ve4jhj@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> > Hello, >> >> > >> >> > My modem connects, but I am unable to browse any sites, or use irc or >> >> > any other connection. >> >> > >> >> > my hsf driver is # 7.80.02.04full for my kernel listed above.
