Hi Jarmo,
I had similar problems, the only thing that helped for me was adding
the nameservers from my provider nto the /etc/resolv.conf. My connection was
fine, it was just the message you describe and Netscape which was unable to
connect to the internet.
In your log I also see:
can't load char-major-108
this can be solved by putting this in your modules.conf:
char-major-108 off #for kernel 2.2
char-major-108 ppp_generic #for kernel 2.3
Greetings,
Menno
