Fine, your connection is indeed working but you have no DNS. (BTW you don't need to leave ping running so long - a few packets is enough! It doesn't come to a 'natural halt' unless you use the -c option: you just hit ctrl-c once you see it's working. 3% packet loss is no big deal.) ISTR seeing another post from you that I read some time after making my reply (the thread's a bit fragmented by now) containing plog output which confirmed that you are indeed receiving the IPs of the DNS servers when you connect, so it's the setting up of the DNS at your end using that information which isn't working. /etc/ppp/ip-up has exited with status 1, which is an error status. This, I think, means that one of the scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d is returning an error. Two of these scripts are to do with setting up your DNS, so maybe we're getting somewhere. Are all the scripts executable? What does 'ls -l /etc/ppp/ip-up.d' report? Do you get any error messages on the console when you connect using pon, perhaps beginning with 'run-parts:'? If they are all executable, and there aren't any helpful error messages from run-parts indicating which script is failing: try adding 'exit 0' as the second line of every script. Then, when you connect, plog should indicate that /etc/ppp/ip-up exited with status 0. Now you can delete the 'exit 0' second line from each script in turn, starting with the one at the top of ls -l, and try connecting after you change each script. At some point /etc/ppp/ip-up will go back to exiting with status 1, and then you know which script is producing the error. Once we know that, we might be able to figure out why. > When I tried to open konqueror from the terminal I got this response ( > note I was root at terminal) : > deblnx:/home/john# konqueror > Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server > Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server > konqueror: cannot connect to X server :0.0 > deblnx:/home/john# > > I don't understand because if I type konqueror as myself/regular user > Konqueror opens (Still doesn't see internet connection). > Maybe none of that has anything to do with anything??? I think that's a security feature. Running complex GUI apps as root is generally not a good idea as there may be bugs lurking in the complexity which could have more devastating effects if you're root. Having said that, I've just tried running konqueror myself as root for the first time and it didn't complain, so not quite sure here, but I very much doubt it's connected. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
