Problem connecting to the Internet

[bobby88]

Hi all. I have recently installed Fedora 12 on my pc but I am not able to browse the internet although the network icon shows the computer is connected.

I tried the dig command and got the following message:
global options +cmd;
connection timed out; servers could not be reached;

Any help would be highly appreciated.

check to be sure you actually have a connection:

ifconfig

If you are behind a router and NOT using DHCP, use NetworkManager to setup your IP address.

Dig may also failed if you did not define DNS servers.

cat /etc/resolv.conf

If its empty you have no DNS servers.

Hi scathefire. I have attached the screenshot for the command ifconfig. The resolv.conf file contains two IP addresses of the primary and secondary DNSs.

try this:

traceroute www.google.com

then try:

traceroute -n 74.125.47.103

If they both fail, you want to try turning off your firewall to test it.

service iptables stop

I'm not sure if the default firewall setup will allow traceroutes.

The first two commands failed. I tried the third one and then again tried the first two.Following is the result attached.

Traceroute using IP hits your router and dies. So what kind of router are you using? IS it something provided by your ISP? Is something you bought? Any kind of crazy configuration in there?

I am using a UTStarcom - UT300R2U ADSL modem provided by the ISP. Other than that there is nothing.
