kppp problem (no transfer)?

**milicic.marko** · 02-22-2005

I am relatively new to Slacware. I instaled Slack 10.0 and configured kppp in order to "surf the net".

I was surprised. I connect sucessifuly but there is no transfer. When I try to visit www.google.com I couldn't.

I searched this forum many times, and found many similar problems but I couldn't find solution.

What I'm suposed to do?

Please help me!

Thank you in advance

in terminal can you ping?

Code:

ping 64.233.167.99
ping www.google.com

if IP works but not the hostname, you might have a problem with dns resolution.
1. Whats your ISP?
2. issue the command "ifconfig" do you get a valid IP?
3. ping the IP you have.
4. Post any error mesage you get

ping don't work with IP adress. the same is with domain name.

Here is result of ifconfig

Code:

lo        Link encap&#58;Local Loopback
          inet addr&#58;127.0.0.1  Mask&#58;255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU&#58;16436  Metric&#58;1
          RX packets&#58;0 errors&#58;0 dropped&#58;0 overruns&#58;0 frame&#58;0
          TX packets&#58;0 errors&#58;0 dropped&#58;0 overruns&#58;0 carrier&#58;0

          RX bytes&#58;42 &#40;42.0 b&#41;  TX bytes&#58;63 &#40;63.0 b&#41;

And, here is result of route

Code:

ernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
194.247.192.254 *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0
loopback        *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
default         194.247.192.254 0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 ppp0

I must tell you that I waited for result of route command about 1 min. I thing that this delay is not normal!

Help me, please!

Well if you cant ping out, no use to go any further. You ,either arent connected, or behind a completely blocked firewall.

Are you using any firewall?
Do you have any other OS in that machine that "works" on the internet?

**milicic.marko** · 02-22-2005

Yes!

I have also windows 2003, and internet "works". Also, I must say that I CAN conect to internet in Slack, but not from kppp. Now, I am on the net, and I am using "ppp-go" and "ppp-off" Slackware specific commands to conetct to internet.

I must tell you, that I am conected (100% sure) because kppp starts counting my online time, but there is no transfer.

How can I check if there is any firewall on my Slackware system?

I install last night Slackware 10.1 and I have a similar problem with KPPP
The difference is that KPPP works if I login as root (but very slow and with big delay) and do not work if I login as user. If I login as user I can not configure KPPP account to use automatic DNS because that radio button is inactive and force me to use manual DNS configuration, which is not recomended by my ISP and finaly don't work. As user I can connect to internet , KPPP told me that I'm connected but I can not do anything

My modem is Creative Modem Balster v92 serial ( DE5721)

Similar problem I have with Mandrake 10.0 and 10.1 and Fedora Core 3 ...
where modem is working but very slow and with big delay.

I think that is a bug in KPPP software bacause SUSE 9.2 works very good , but SUSE do not use KPPP ... he use KINTERNET

finaly KPPP works

I reinstall Slackware 10.1, I select loopback for network connection, I select the "COM1 under DOS" for modem configuration and I don't run KPPPsetup in the installation process. After first reboot, I run alsaconf and xorgconf, startx as root, I create a user, logoff, login as user, startx again and run KPPP from grafical enviroment as user. I configure here KPPP and it works ...

other trick :
if I set connection speed more then 115200 don't work

i think it is something about my modem or my ISP
