Cant connect to internet with cable usb modem.

Launch in terminal the command:

ping www.google.com

Do you receive any output?

What is the output of

    ifconfig -a

please paste it in here

Pinging google.com does not work. This is the result of ifconfig -a:

The numbers in the RX bytes and RX packets (of eth0) are constantly getting bigger.

The customer support guy told me that my computer detected my cable usb modem, but that I just needed a dialer. He told me to go to www.cables.org.il/ik and download the script that says linux on it. I did that. Now how do I use that script.

Thanks

Next to the changing numbers I also wrote "nnn".... (In the ifconfig)

Looking at the zip file, I think you need to execute the INSTALL file as root, i.e.

sudo ./INSTALL

can you give me exact directions on how to install it.

thanks!

Looking at the zip file, there is no documentation included. It seems you just execute the ./INSTALL file and follow the instructions.

When I click the install file it opens up the terminal and after half a second it closes the terminal. Then I open up fire fox and it doesnt work.

what is in resolv.conf ?

that is /etc/resolv.conf

you can do

   cat /etc/resolv.conf

Could you let us know what the problem ended up being, and also how you fixed it as others will probably find this support request when searching and it may help them out to know the solution.

To fix this problem I called up the customer service. They sent me a disc in the mail. In that disc there was a script which I had to install. From now on I just click on that scripts and it connects me to the net. Its a PPP connection...

Mi PC portatil no tiene puerto de LAN, y solo lo puedo conectar por USB, pero el Ubuntu no me da opcion de conectar por ese puerto.... como puedo bajar la aplicacion de Internet con el PC de mesa para poder emplear ese puerto en el portatil?

Hi, i am new to umbunto and not very computor sharp. Can anyone give me step by step direction on how to connect to internet? I have a cable modem with a ethernet wire connected to a desktop PC that is connected and working. I want to un plug the ethernet wire from my pc and hook into my laptop which I have installed umbunto 7.10. umbunto is the only os on the laptop. I understand i need to type address and other information into the right windows, I just dont know which windows and what to type into blanks. I understand if nobody has the patience to walk me throuh the connection process but I thought I would ask anyway. Thankfull for any help.

Sorry, I could not get unbunto to work on the internet, so I was forced to
go back to the windows os.
