Internet problem -- can Ping but No Browse

[Moose On The Loose]

Hello,

I'm new here.

I can't connect to the internet from my Puppy Linux.
It can ping yahoo,google but not browse.

How to get internet on this?


Thanks.

Do you get that the connection or session was interrupted?

If so, you may be on one of those ISPs that requires you to sign an agreement before you browse. They trap all attempts to do HTTP and redirect you to the page where they say "click here to agree". Unfortunately, many of them are not doing it right and some browsers see it as an error and don't take you to the page for you to agree.

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'll have to dig around to find those though as many links will be broken.

Installed Firefox 2 from package manager. Not browsing. It's not even browsing ISP's webpages which usually can connect without Internet connection.

Have downloaded some files outside of Puppy packages by gftp, they do download.

Not sure if any special setup require at browsers preference.

It just shows nothing. At bottom left "Waiting for www.google.com... ... same for other websites.

Does this anything to do with net browsing?

Code: Select all

# netstat -ntlp
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q 	Local Address	Foreign Address		State	PID/Program name
tcp	   0	  0 	    0.0.0.0:631	    0.0.0.0:*   LISTEN	    cupsd

or, the file networks?

Code: Select all

# cat /mnt/etc/networks
loopback  127.0.0.0
puppynet  192.168.1.0

I don't remember anything assigning as puppynet/192.168.1.0
