Re: [debian-knoppix] Can connect to ISP but can't connect to Internet (Former re: Modem problem)
Hi Fabian,
Thanks for your advice.
After several tests without any result, I found following discovery
# ls -l /etc/resolv.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 49 Jan 16 2000 /etc/resolv.conf
# cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Insert nameservers here
# nameserver 127.0.0.1
resolv.conf is not an empty file nor a symbolic link.
# cd /etc/ppp/
root@ttyp0[ppp]# ls
chap-secrets no_ppp_on_boot
chap-secrets.orig options
chat-iminitel options.ttyXX
ioptions pap-secrets
ip-down pap-secrets.orig
ip-down.d peers
ip-up ppp_on_boot.dsl
ip-up.d resolv
"resolv" is a directory/folder not a file
root@ttyp0[ppp]# cd ./resolv/
root@ttyp0[resolv]# ls -l
total 0
After configuring ADSL and connecting to ISP
# cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 202.123.77.209
nameserver 202.123.77.213
It is the DNS of the ISP. But still I could not browse Internet. Both
ADSL and modem are of the same result. It looks to me quite funny. I
have been trying for more than a week.
Besides Mozilla could not be started. I have to use Konqueror to test
connection to Internet without any result.
B.Regards
Stephen
