[ECI] Problem Eicon diva adsl usb in linux RH9

[Bert Van Rillaer]

Hello,   I am having a problem getting my linux RH9 on the internet with a diva adsl usb modem. I installed everything like it is shown in the documentation without problems. At the end of the "./startmodem" command, I get this:   Connect Modem ... Using vpi.vci=8.35 using channel 4 Using interface ppp0 Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/1 sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0x1bb39689>] sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0x1bb39689>] sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0x1bb39689>] sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0x1bb39689>] rcvd [LCP ConfRej id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0>] sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x2 <magic 0x1bb39689>] rcvd [LCP ConfAck id=0x2 <magic 0x1bb39689>] rcvd [LCP ConfReq id=0x21 <mru 1500> <auth chap MD5> <magic 0x4e9552a9>] sent [LCP ConfAck id=0x21 <mru 1500> <auth chap MD5> <magic 0x4e9552a9>] rcvd [CHAP Challenge id=0x4 <6d046a129884c44afe5d4c90e88c0e88>, name = "BAS-LEUVEN"] sent [CHAP Response id=0x4 <9cccc0edbfe69d03951ecb873f1469f3>, name = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"] rcvd [CHAP Success id=0x4 "CHAP authentication success, unit 7107"] Remote message: CHAP authentication success, unit 7107 sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x1 <addr 0.0.0.0> <ms-dns1 0.0.0.0> <ms-dns3 0.0.0.0>] rcvd [IPCP ConfReq id=0x3f <addr 217.136.136.1>] sent [IPCP ConfAck id=0x3f <addr 217.136.136.1>] rcvd [IPCP ConfNak id=0x1 <addr 217.136.136.22> <ms-dns1 195.238.2.21> <ms-dns3 195.238.2.22>] sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x2 <addr 217.136.136.22> <ms-dns1 195.238.2.21> <ms-dns3 195.238.2.22>] rcvd [IPCP ConfAck id=0x2 <addr 217.136.136.22> <ms-dns1 195.238.2.21> <ms-dns3 195.238.2.22>] local  IP address 217.136.136.22 remote IP address 217.136.136.1 primary   DNS address 195.238.2.21 secondary DNS address 195.238.2.22 ... Connect Modem OK   which is fine. In my ifconfig I get:   lo        Link encap:Local Loopback           inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0           UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1           RX packets:5803 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0           TX packets:5803 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0           collisions:0 txqueuelen:0           RX bytes:398753 (389.4 Kb)  TX bytes:398753 (389.4 Kb)   ppp0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol           inet addr:217.136.148.121  P-t-P:217.136.148.1  Mask:255.255.255.255           UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1           RX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0           TX packets:7 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0           collisions:0 txqueuelen:3           RX bytes:146 (146.0 b)  TX bytes:326 (326.0 b)   so I think the ppp0 is the adsl modem which is OK. But when I try to go to e.g. www.hotmail.com in my brower, it says "www.hotmail.com  could not be found. Please check the name and try again" so I guess there is still something wrong. I adjusted the default gateway like it is shown in the installation manual by adding the IP-adresses of the 2 nameservers of my internet provider in the /etc/resolv.conf  file. When I do a "route -n" I get   Kernel IP routing table Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface 217.136.148.1   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0 169.254.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 lo 127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo 0.0.0.0         217.136.148.1   0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 ppp0   which is also normal I think. Why is my browser still giving this "unable to resolve" message? The default route apparently is ok, so I really don't know what is wrong. A "nslookup www.hotmail.com" command gives   ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached   Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I feel that I'm pretty close, but not yet there.....
