Thanks again.

Dear Sir,




Verify if you are really connected. Issue this command on terminal window as 

root to know the IP of your 'ppp0' interface.




# ifconfig




If there's an IP is present, use the ping command to know if you have network 

connection.




ping yahoo.ocm 




You should receive a reply.




Try also to add the nameserver and DNS IP of your ISP on /etc/resolv.conf




[root at localhost root]# ifconfig

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback  

          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0

          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1

          RX packets:130 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

          TX packets:130 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 

          RX bytes:8468 (8.2 Kb)  TX bytes:8468 (8.2 Kb)




[root at localhost root]# ping yahoo.ocm

ping: unknown host yahoo.ocm

[root at localhost root]# ping yahoo.com

ping: unknown host yahoo.com


I installed Linux to be challenged.
...it's working.
