| 34652 | 2002-02-06 11:51:00 | After my long saga of trying to locate the drivers for my modem for Red Hat. Which has been located thanks to b m's earlier post. I am now trying to use my browser to get on the net. I connect ok. I open up the browser type my favourite link 'www.pcworld.co.nz press enter and nothing happens. I have no idea what to do now. Is there a setup somewhere I am missing? I've got it connecting to the net but I don't have the browser getting anything. I've tried all the browsers that came with Red Hat... Netscape, Konquerer and Mozilla. |

| 34654 | 2002-02-07 00:10:00 | It dials to my ISP. But when I open up a browser it doesn't bring any type of dialup box or anything. I dial out manually though I can't connect to any sites. |

| 34655 | 2002-02-07 02:02:00 | I would be inclined to give the address as: http://www.pressf1.co.nz/ Because: It's shorter. It's the address of the site, not the address of a dynamically generated page on that site, and therefore a better bet for DNS resolution. Just a thought ... |

| 34656 | 2002-02-07 03:06:00 | It doesn't matter what address I put in. It says it's resolving the address but returns with a message saying it could not reach it or something along the lines of that. How can I tell if the browser is sending and receiving? Is it possible that it's looking on my network address and not my internet address? I installed the drivers with no problems. Then I used all these dialers and PPP, internet configurators. And tested to see if it connected to my ISP and it did. I opened a browser. Typed in a link and pressed enter and nothing. Do I have to give the browser access to the internet by setting it in a firewall option anywhere? I think red hat has a case of bloatware with applications that do exactly the same thing. |
