Hi everybody, sorry for the other mail - there was something messed up with my mail box and my first mail wasn't send... Sorry about that here's my problem:
I updated my kernel to 2.4.0 - I also updated the ppp-package to 2.4.0. But I can't connect to my ISP directly, well actually I can b/c I can ping to a specific IP address and /var/log/syslog tells me that a connection was established. But I *can't* ping to anything that starts with www. something ... and so on.... Here is my cuurent setup: laptop:/home/user1# route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 213.187.64.125 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 localnet * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default 213.187.64.125 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 laptop:/home/user1# ping 192.18.97.241 (which I think is www.sun.com) PING 192.18.97.241 (192.18.97.241): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.18.97.241: icmp_seq=0 ttl=236 time=441.1 ms 64 bytes from 192.18.97.241: icmp_seq=1 ttl=236 time=350.0 ms 64 bytes from 192.18.97.241: icmp_seq=2 ttl=236 time=429.9 ms -- 192.18.97.241 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 350.0/407.0/441.1 ms laptop:/home/user1# ping www.sun.com ping: unknown host www.sun.com laptop:/home/user1# ifconfig -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:C8:8C:1E:F7 inet addr:192.168.5.18 Bcast:192.168.5.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:10 Base address:0x300 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1 RX packets:297 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:297 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:213.187.67.148 P-t-P:213.187.64.125 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:48 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:49 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:10 my /etc/resolv.conf looks like this: # eth0 begin domain <here is my domain address for the network at work> # eth0 end nameserver 213.187.64.125 I guess that 213.187.64.125 is the ip address of my ISP - there is a different one in the /etc/resolv.conf on the server but I get this in /var/log/syslog: ....
