ok i did the netstat and ip again and this is what i came up with

[ferret@ferret ferret]$ netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
168.219.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U        40 0          0 eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U        40 0          0 lo
0.0.0.0         168.219.0.1     0.0.0.0         UG       40 0          0 eth0

[ferret@ferret ferret]$ ping 126.239.51.101
PING 126.239.51.101 (126.239.51.101) from 168.219.0.5 : 56(84) bytes of data.

i've just had a n idea i'm going to try brb

voidmain:
You are still not pinging the address I asked you to. I can't get to the one you are trying either. It's not 126.*, the one I want you to ping is "216.239.51.101". If you can successfully ping that address then the problem is with your /etc/resolv.conf.

well i changed the ip address to the right one and got exactly the same message as before.

are you sure it's not something to do with the modem not even showing up in the hardware list?

i just don't get it, how should it be able to dial if it's not registered in the system hardware page.

i don't get the figures for the destination and gateway, networking has never been one of my strong points.

another thing when i went to edit resolv.conf it would not let me save it. i was logged on as [email protected] in the console, and when i used mandrake control center to check on the file permissions i could not find it so i made one for it but still couldn't get it to work. damn.

cheers
