9.04 pppoe problem

[maruf10]

i am using a pppoe connection in XP which works well .

in ubuntu i have tried

sudo pppoeconf and sudo pon dsl-provider

i have also tried sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart but there is no result...

i have faced the same problem in 8.04 and 9.10

thats why i am changing version one after one

any suggestion ??

after you run pon dsl-provider chk the logs using this command

plog

this will show you what exactly is going on..
post the output too..

as you can see you are connected to internet..
you have been assigned the IPs.
you may try running the following command to chk if internet is working or not..

ping ubuntu.com

i think your internet was always working.. but by looking at the network icon (which will show disconnected) you thought that you are unable to connect..

[maruf10]

this is the output


maruf@ubuntu:~$ ping ubuntu.com
ping: unknown host ubuntu.com
maruf@ubuntu:~$ ping google.com
ping: unknown host google.com

[shredder12]

post the output of plog when you get this error...
and also post the output of

ifconfig ppp1

and

cat /etc/resolv.conf

btw.. see if you are able to ping only the IP

ping 114.31.0.66

[maruf10]

maruf@ubuntu:~$ ping google.com
ping: unknown host google.com

maruf@ubuntu:~$ plog

its really strange..
your plog shows that you are connected to internet.. but it is still not working and ppp1 is not even assigned the IP.
plz post the output of

ifconfig -a

since, you didn't get a reply by pinging the IP either.. so i guess its not even a dns issue, ur resolv.conf file seems to have the required entries..

i think the IP address might be assigned to eth0 and even if it is the system should be able to use internet. I don't even understand why ppp1 was used, i always got the default ppp interface ppp0.

As you can see here you are assigned the IP addresses in both the ppp0 and ppp1 interfaces..
But in the previous post there was no address assigned to the interface ppp1.

Lets give a last try to it. After you start your system run this command

sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog

I will need the complete output of this command in case we don't succeed.

Whenever you start your system and the connection check thru "plog" what's the status of ur connection. The plog output you submitted above was when you were assigned the IP.. this means that you are connected now. If it shows you are connected then continue.

Now, the check the output of

ifconfig ppp0

ifconfig ppp1

you should see the assigned addresses. The output should be same as in your last post.

Now, ping some website first and see what output you get.. if its not working.. try pinging the IP address I mentioned in the post above or the DNS servers you were assigned (look at the last 2 IPs in the output of plog).

If you are unsuccessful.. check the output of plog and again do "ifconfig ppp0" and "ifconfig ppp1" to check if you still have got the assigned addresses.

Remember to post the output of the "tail" command in case of a failure.. either use "code" tags to post it here or you may post it on http://paste.ubuntu.com and mention the link here.
