Connecting to internet but can't go for sites !!!

[tdbvnr]

I've mandrake 9.1 version of linux. I confiured internet connection with pppoe a few months before. It worked well till a few days before. Usually when I connect, I'll get a message like "Connected". Now I can't get any such.

I'm unable to go for any websites or mail checking. Nothing works but its getting connected. I'm having win xp as well. Connection through that have no problem.

Below are some of the replies that I got when I tried. Anyone please suggest me to fix the problem.

[root@new1 tdb]# pppoe-start
pppoe-start: There already seems to be a PPPoE connection up (PID 1922)

[root@new1 tdb]# pppoe-status
Note: You have enabled demand-connection; pppoe-status may be inaccurate.
pppoe-status: Link is down (can't read pppoe PID file /var/run/pppoe.conf-pppoe.pid.pppoe)

ping 127.0.0.1 receives reply

ping www.google.com or something else don't receive replies.

pinging a DNS servers gives so,

[root@new1 tdb]# ping 129.250.35.250

What could be done ??

Is there anyway to reset connection ??

Thanks...

1. Do

pppoe-stop

2. Do

rm /var/run/ppp*.pid

3. Do

rm /var/run/ppp*.tdb

Now do

pppoe-start

Hello cyberinstru,

I tried the commands given by you. But I can't see any changes. The problem still persists.

Is there any other way ?

Thanks for your help...

[cyberinstru]

Can you paste the output of

ls /var/run/

[tdbvnr]

This is the output of ls /var/run/

acpid.socket=
atd.pid
console.lock
crond.pid
ifplugd.eth0.pid
klogd.pid
linuxconf.lockdb
pppoe.conf-pppoe.pid
pppoe.conf-pppoe.pid.pppd
pppoe.conf-pppoe.pid.start
runlevel.dir
syslogd.pid
tmdns.pid
utmp
xfs.pid
xinetd.pid

These were found. Do need any more information to fix the problem ?

Thanks..

[cyberinstru]

1. Do "pppoe-stop"

2. Delete these files:

pppoe.conf-pppoe.pid
pppoe.conf-pppoe.pid.pppd
pppoe.conf-pppoe.pid.start

3. Start pppoe - "pppoe-start"

Hello,

I just now tried this too sir. But its not working..

Can I be able to remove the pppoe setups and start from first ?

Is there any chance for that to work ? How to do this ?

Thanks...

[tdbvnr]

It's just still replying the errors that I mentioned in the first post.

I could find no change...

[root@new1 tdb]# pppoe-start
pppoe-start: There already seems to be a PPPoE connection up (PID 1922)

Sorry to repeat again. This log indicates either pppoe is running or some orphan pid files are present (if pppoe is not running). So that it is suggested to delete those files. Don't mistake.

If you see such errors again,

1. Check the output of "ps -ef" and see if the specified PID is present.

2. Check /proc directory, if any directory with the name=PID is present.
i.e., if PID=1992, then /proc/1992 should be present.

3. Check /var/run for pppoe and ppp files.

[tdbvnr]

I checked that PID presence in /proc . Its there only. I've listed the outputs that I obtained.


$ ls /var/run

acpid.socket=
atd.pid
crond.pid
ifplugd.eth0.pid
klogd.pid
ppp1.pid
pppd.tdb
pppoe.conf-pppoe.pid
pppoe.conf-pppoe.pid.pppd
pppoe.conf-pppoe.pid.start
runlevel.dir
syslogd.pid
tmdns.pid
utmp
xfs.pid
xinetd.pid

I deleted the files starting with ppp* and then issued pppoe-stop.

$pppoe-start (starts with no output like "Connected.. ")
$pppoe-start (second time)
pppoe-start: There already seems to be a PPPoE connection up (PID 1785)

$pppoe-status
Note: You have enabled demand-connection; pppoe-status may be inaccurate.
pppoe-status: Link is down (can't read pppoe PID file /var/run/pppoe.conf-pppoe.pid.pppoe)

$ps 1785

I was totally confused. Anyother way ???
