Problems with connecting to Internet on SuSE 9.2
I used to run on SuSe 9.0 and used two independent ISPs to connect
to Internet through US Robotics external modem via either one of the two providers with no hassle at all. Recently I upgraded to SuSE 9.2 by fresh installation from scratch and connection to one of the providers still works O.K. while connection to another is broken in a strange way: Computer does connect through Kinternet but acts as if it is not connected,namely although # ifconfig -a shows that my computer got 212.200.136.121 IP address,ping to any computer,including its P-t-P at 212.200.136.100 does not respond untill I ctrl-c out of it. My Kinternet icon shows a connection,connection time is ticking and my available time with ISP decreases for the amount I spent "connected". I even reinstalled SuSE 9.0 and again got connection to both ISPs configured within minutes with no glitch at all. I installed 9.2 again from scratch,same results: Connection to first ISP works while connection to the second one is brokem the same way as after the first installation of 9.2: Time is ticking as if connecton is established but computer acts as if it is not connected. It pings itself (212.200.136.121) successfuly but no other IP address and traceroute fails at the very first and all other hops. I wonder what changed from Suse 9.0 to 9.2 to give me so much trouble. Output of route -n of unsuccessful and successful ISP respectively looks like: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 212.200.136.100 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 212.200.136.100 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 linux:~ # route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 194.106.162.43 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 194.106.162.43 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 linux:~ # Suggestions will be accepted with gratitude. mile89 |
Whats in /etc/resolv.conf for both connections?
|
nameserver 212.200.136.100
nameserver 255.255.255.255 search palic.net |
Can you ping 212.200.136.100 when connected to nonworking isp?
Check with the isp and make sure thats the correct DNS number. Also there are usually 2 DNS numbers, nameserver 255.255.255.255 that is not a valid nameserver ip. <edit> Wait a second!!! You have your ip in /etc/resolv.conf, this will not work. You should go to the isp's web page and find the correct DNS numbers and put them in place of the ones you have in /etc/resolv.conf. |
I came back to version 9.0. and everything works just fine.
