Hello,

I can't connect to the internet from my Puppy Linux.

What kind of Internet connection do you have? This situation is often a DNS issue.

It's a Wimax wireless connection & dhcp.

This is the screenshot of some terminalt commands (I changed the IP with some "X"):

Haven't checked but I can browse it by SeaMonkey, so may be ping is possible too (I'm posting from another OS). Also saw tracerout work for 'yahoo'.

I've tried with 'opendns' ip addresses as 'nameservers' in /etc/resolv.conf ; still only ping,tracerout etc. but no browsing.
Also after reboot ; the modem resets it's own 'nameserver' & delete any added nameservers.

Hmm... could be a subnetmask problem.

CLASS A < -- subnet 255.0.0.0

CLASS B < -- subnet 255.255.0.0

CLASS C < -- subnet 255.255.255.0

Yours falls into CLASS A.. look at the loopback subnetmask

ref: Cisco

What distro and network tool are you using? I'd suggest Dougal's Network Wizard. SNS (I don't think) supports anything but CLASS C, not sure about Frisbee.

The reason I suggest Network Wizard is that when you fail to connect you get the default CLASS 2 address assigned.. 169.254.xxx.xxx, 255.255.0.0 (correct subnetmask for class).

Where to check version? These are inside puppy cd:
Code:
boot.cat  help.msg   isolinux.bin  logo.16      vmlinuz
boot.msg  initrd.gz  isolinux.cfg  pup-431.sfs

Computer: Pentium 4
Ram: 768 mb
Wireless Modem:
Code:
$ /sbin/lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0e8d:7115 MediaTek Inc.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000......... 
(output from other distro); it is a hostless 'plug & play' modem. Works on any OS without installer. I'm using it on other Linux/Windows without any IP,nameserver configuration.

Checked that link, didn't understand much, sorry.

I would try a much newer Puppy version, like Slacko 533.

When you run a different Linux, what do you see in /etc/resolv.conf?

I should try it. Can I upgrade current one without internet connection?

This isn't an upgrade - it's a completely different Puppy. Slacko 533 is here.

Code:
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
search wimax
nameserver 10.X.X.254

So apparently, 10.X.X.254 is the nameserver. I don't know why this doesn't work in 431.

Hi,
Me again.
I've found this thing new.
I can install package through "puppy package manager"
Also can connect to FTP servers using "gftp"
Here's some of the download info:
Code:
=> `leafpad-0.8.12.pet'
Resolving ftp.linux.hr... 193.198.184.20

47% [================>                       ]  774,168            61.81K/s


It's connecting to FTP servers ; not HTTP Confused

I've tried all as a default root user. Is there any rule like root can't browse the Internet by default?

Thanks for the link. I'll try that version.

Puppy 431 ships with an old seamonkey, 1.1.15 (iirc, maybe slightly newer). I wonder if your ISP is blocking the browser? Also, there are settings in the browser that may help, see the preferences in the browser menu.

You could try a different browser. Firefox 2 should run in it, or even an early FF 3. You'll have to dig around to find those though as many links will be broken.
