Help needed... Red Hat 9 + BSNL Dataone

6 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/help-needed-red-hat-9-bsnl-dataone.15029/

Hi ppl.. i installed RedHat9 yesterday and created a xDSL connection under Network Connections in RH9. It connects since I ran terminal and check ip. It showed BSNL IP i.e. 59.93..... and I also pinged the Ip. Packets recieved 100% success... but when i am opening mozilla and typing a web address no page opens... plz help.. what to do...

Proxy server settings?

BTW, Just a suggestion.

RH9 is pretty old now. There are various other later distro that have fixed a few security and other issues with the kernel and other things. Why not have one of those?

what others distros do you all prefer...

open the /etc/resolv.conf and add the following line

nameserver 61.1.96.69 61.1.96.71

and try now.

I prefer PCQ Linux 2005. Its based on FC3 and their customisation has made it far better than FC3. Its lighter on the system and they have also included some useful things which we would otherwise download and install anyway

Support is available thru their forum and in their mag.

how about mandrake's latest version mandriva "tuxfan". coz i am new to linux, i needed automatic NTFS partitions to be loaded in linux... does PCQ linux has that facility? coz its FC, i guess not...
