Can you trying pinging an external IP to rule out a name server issue.

ping 216.239.33.101

have you a local ethernet running? (ie using your network card?)

when you are connected, do a:

Code:

route -N

if you see a route with destination 0.0.0.0
do a:

Code:

route del -net 0.0.0.0

and next time you connect things should be sweet

i cannot ping any ip ..just can ping one isp RAS ip nothing more
i solved it by manually giving the ip of DNS while creating the account using kppp
my q? is can i use any DNS (primary or parent)or its must to use the isp DNS only
