Perhaps the DNS is not working. You probably have set up your mail
provider with numeric IP, like 215.90.23.56. When surfing the web you
use a name like web.de or something.
to verify this try:
ping -c1 web.de #################### your input !
PING web.de (217.72.195.42): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 217.72.195.42: icmp_seq=0 ttl=246 time=68.4 ms
--- web.de ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 68.4/68.4/68.4 ms
root@p133:/root
ping -c1 217.72.195.42 ######################yout input !
PING 217.72.195.42 (217.72.195.42): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 217.72.195.42: icmp_seq=0 ttl=246 time=68.9 ms
--- 217.72.195.42 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 68.9/68.9/68.9 ms
If ping number works and ping IP does not, please check
/etc/resolv.conf:
nameserver 195.20.224.234
nameserver 194.25.2.129
nameserver 194.25.2.130
These numbers are for my network, you should try the ones given by your
ISP. But even "my" numbers might work when they can be pinged.
You might even try http://217.72.195.42
in your browser to check
