Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

[rajeshnayak]

Hi
I am new to Linux. Just to avoid WINDOWS started using LINUX in my decade old P-II, 128mb RAM machine. Main purpose Internet browsing.
Before starting I have gone through Discussion Forum. Installed PUPPY LINUX 5.2.8 in NTFS partition, booting through Live CD.
Now the main problem is UNABLE TO CONNECT INTERNET.
I am using BSNL broadband in Semens modem which is working fine in the same computer under WINDOWS.
Network has been configured successfully in eth0.
Internet connected through Roaring Penguine PPPOE after setup. PPPOE status showing “Link is up & running on interface pppo.
But when trying to download & install any browser, pop up displaying “UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD PLEASE CONNECT TO INTERNET”.
Please help.

I assume you have done a frugal install to the NTFS partition and use the live CD to boot, because you have not installed a boot loader.
With 128MB of memory make a save file before you try to do any configuring or program installs.

When running Internet Connection Wizard, setup using the Network Wizard. Are you choosing auto DHCP?

Hi
Save file created during first shut down & auto DHCP done during network setup.

Rajesh, doesn't Puppy 5.2.8 come with a browser installed? (Look in Menu -> Internet for it.) Most Puppys come with SeaMonkey as the default browser. The reason I ask is, what happens if you try to use the browser your Puppy came with?

[rajeshnayak]

Hi
In 5.2.8, when I try to download any browser it say" UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD, CONNECT TO INTERNET" and 5.3.3 skymonkey browser say "UNABLE TO CONNECT INTERNET" . Though the PPPOE status say connected.

From the list here, which modem do you have?

Maybe a setting in the modems config that is blocking connection. Internal firewall or device block. Look for something like allow all devices.

To troubleshoot network connectivity problems, please run the "ipinfo" tool from the console or the System->System Status and Config->IpInfo network information.

This will give all the information you need to diagnose the problem.

there is another program you can try.
menu>Internet>Frisbee Network Manager install.
This will give you the network manager Frisbee to try to connect.
It seems to work better on some equipment.
