i took these results from the route and netstat commands. I also change the resolv.conf file. But when i connected to the internet i can't see any page with lynx. I set up a network which has a 192.168.1.200 and 192.168.1.1 gateway....what do you think about the problem...thnx for helps....

can you ping IP addresses? Try mine, 65.33.76.33 should be up 24/7 unless I have a power outage.

i can ping.....But i couldn't understand what you mean with 65.33...and following sentence.

[wassy121]

my IP address is 65.33.76.33, I am far away from you. Try to ping my computer with `ping 65.33.76.33` If that works than it is a DNS problem, and you probably need to get your DNS servers from your Internet Service Provider (Cable modem company, dsl company, or dialup company). DNS = Domain Name Service, it is used to resolve hotmail.com to a set of numbers, or toc.oscar.aol.com (what you need to sign in to AIM) to 10.10.10.1 or something like that.

Today i connected again to internet and ppp-on program wrote that not replacing existing route [192.168.1.1]...i can ping as an dot decimal format not like dns.....

[patiklipenguen]

I need help on ppp-on.

Error message in /var/log/messages:
Serial connection established.
Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem
not replacing existing default route to eth0 [192.168.1.1]
local IP address 202.188.59.84
remote IP address 202.188.61.88
---------------------------------------------

When I run ppp-on, I got the message above. The problem is I cannot "ping"
to other network eg: yahoo.com. What is the problem?
Please help.


Thank You,

if you can ping the numbers, but not the names (like yahoo.com, etc) then just use a free DNS server from the internet. I don't know of any offhand, just look up an IP number for a free DNS server on google, and put:
nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx
in /etc/resolv.conf where xx.xx.xx.xx are the numbers gotten from the web.

This is what I have, they should work for at least the next couple months

nameserver 24.95.227.36
nameserver 24.95.227.34
nameserver 24.95.227.35
