Felix, Please send to the List as I am rarely on line. Before and after a CONNECT do $ cat /etc/resolv.conf This is the file that stores the active DNS info. It should change after the CONNECT Also after the pppd CONNECT try $ ping gmail.com PING gmail.com (74.125.79.83): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 74.125.79.83: icmp_seq=0 ttl=43 time=116.566 ms 64 bytes from 74.125.79.83: icmp_seq=1 ttl=43 time=119.128 ms 64 bytes from 74.125.79.83: icmp_seq=2 ttl=43 time=115.493 ms stopping it with: ^C Compare with the Numeric rather than Named address $ ping 74.125.79.83 PING 74.125.79.83 (74.125.79.83): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 74.125.79.83: icmp_seq=0 ttl=43 time=113.613 ms 64 bytes from 74.125.79.83: icmp_seq=1 ttl=43 time=113.535 ms 64 bytes from 74.125.79.83: icmp_seq=2 ttl=43 time=116.334 ms 64 bytes from 74.125.79.83: icmp_seq=3 ttl=43 time=117.812 ms If the Numeric succeeds but the Named fails, it is only a DNS problem If the Numeric fails, you do not yet have Internet access MarvS On Tue, Jul 28, 2009 at 11:49 AM, Félix Daniel Batista<fdbatista@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Marv, sorry to keep bothering you, but still can't surf the Web. > My modem connects to my ISP, I did the shutdown stuff with the eth0 > interface you told me, but still nothing. > > Here I send you a screenshot of my Konqueror while tryin' to open > Google homepage.
