Netscape Browser Not Opening Web-Page

[Syed Mohammad Riyaz]

Goodmorning everybody !   Hi guys!   I have linux 7.0 installed with all necesarry net-services (ppd, inetd, httpd, snmbd etc) enabled.  I have setup neworking options with PCI Eathernet Card on my system as follows:   ============================================================ IP                      Netmask              Device/Interface     Server Name ============================================================ 127.0.0.1          *                            Loopback              localhost.localdomain 192.168.0.1     255.255.255.0       eth0                      cruiser.co.in *                       *                            ppp0                      *                  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   However, I 've not defined DNS on my system.   The Problem: =========== External modem is working and queries OK. After setting up dialup account-script, when I am trying to connect to the internet through kpp and wvdial dialers, the connection goes well and user and password authentication is performed by ISP's login prompt. The dialer's log shows connection is stablished. Remote IP and Local IP are assigned by ISP's server.   After that, when I open netscape browser, the home-page does not open and reports a TCP/IP error. Any URL/web address doesn't open and reports the same error. When try host ip of my ISP, the browser opned the page. But no other IP's are working this way except for he ISP.   Could any gentleman pls help me figuring out what is wrong with my configuration and how to solve this piculiar problem?    My ISP's settings as reported in Windows-2000 is as follows:   -------------------------------Windows 2000 IP Configuration   Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:           Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :         Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 169.254.28.154         Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0         Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :   PPP adapter Sanchar Net:           Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :         IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 61.0.112.32         Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255         Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 61.0.112.32   ----------------------------------------------------- end ip configs   The booting responses in Linux by running dmesg  are as follows:   -----------------------------------------------------------------------dump from linux dmesg Linux version 2.2.16-22 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)) #1 Tue Aug 22 16:49:06 EDT 2000 Detected 1003793 kHz processor.
