Browser won't load web page

[linuxbeginner20]

Hi all,

Fedora shows that "Wired" is connected but when I open browser and load a page, it won't load.

I pinged and it says "Unknown host".

ifconfig:

p5p1:
flags = 4163 <UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTITASK> mtu 1500
inet 70.66.26.159 netmask 255.255.252.0 broadcast 70.66.27.255
inet6 fe80::211:9ff:fea2:acb9 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>

TX packets 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
device interrupt 23 base 0x8000

netstat --tcp --udp --listening --program:

udp 0 0 *.ipp *.* 1/systemd

udp 0 0 *.mdns *.* 513/avahi-daemon:r


Anyone know a fix?

Thanks,

Have you set the DNS settings?

PHP Code:

cat /etc/resolv.conf 


[linuxbeginner20]

Yes I did - I even double-checked that the nameservers are correct.

ISP Provider told me that their modem uses DHCP so I set option to DHCP. I pinged and still got unknown host error.

Have you rebooted the modem after the change?

[linuxbeginner20]

I rebooted the modem. It did not help (I used automatic DHCP setting).

is your netmask really supposed to be 255.255.252.0 ? usually the third number is 255 for a typical home user (class C mask)

[linuxbeginner20]

I changed netmask like you suggested (I had to set option to Manual instead of DHCP to change the netmask). Still getting unknown host when pinging.

DO NOT change that mask, it's perfectly fine. It is a public not private address.

Since your dhcp works, but you can't resolve names and ping them it means
/ your gateway is wring
/ your dns serve IP is wring/inaccessible.
/ you are pinging an IP with no ICMP reponse.

So do an "ip route" (post it) and see if you can do these commans
ping <default route IP>
ping 8.8.4.4

If the second works, than your routing is fine and yo uhave a DNS poblem.

If so then "cat /etc/resolv.conf" and see if you can ping the serve IPs.
If that succeeds but you can't ping a name lik "ping google.com"
then try emitting resolv.conf and changing the IP to 8.8.4.4, one of the google dns servers.

If THAT works you'll need to replace the DNS settings ussed by dhcp.

[linuxbeginner20]

It works when I ping default IP but not when I ping 8.8.4.4.

Ping stats for pinging default IP:

1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms.

Ping stats for pinging 8.8.4.4:

1 packets transmitted, 0 received, +1 error, 100% packet loss, time 0ms.

Sorry I forgot ip route command output:

for DHCP, output is empty.

For Manual:

default via 70.66.24.1 dev p5p1 proto static
64.59.160.0/24 dev p5p1 proto kernel scope link src 64.59.160.13
70.66.24.1 dev p5p1 proto static scope link

I forgot to mention that the pinging results above was when the option was set to Manual. It returns "connect: Network is unreachable" when option was set to automatic DHCP.

Weeellll - the means you probably have a routing error or a router is rejecting your traffic.

I have zero idea what you mean by "ping default IP" There is no default IP. Explain you meaning.

Sorry I forgot ip route command output:

for DHCP, output is empty.

For Manual:

default via 70.66.24.1 dev p5p1 proto static
64.59.160.0/24 dev p5p1 proto kernel scope link src 64.59.160.13
70.66.24.1 dev p5p1 proto static scope link

If you can't auto DHCP then there is no reason to think your route tables and IP assignment are right. Yours are clearly wrong.

For example looking at your manual example it seems your IP is 64.59.160.13/24 and you are assuming a router at 70.66.24.1 - an address your LAN can't possibly touch without another route.

I have no idea where you got the addresses 70.66.24.1 for the router and 64.59.160.13/24 for your system for manual setup - but they are incompatible. *IF* your correct IP is 64.59.160.13/24 then your defalt router MUCH be on your own LAN at some 64.59.160.* address. 70.66.24.1 is not accessible.


So get in contact with your ISP/supplier about your correct IP assignments and route settings and DNS server values.

[linuxbeginner20]

What I mean by default IP is the modem's IP address. I pinged that and it works. Pinging any other address does not work.

I contacted ISP Provider (for the 3rd time!) and here is what I got:

DNS:
nsc1.cv.gv.shawcable.net 64.59.160.13
nsc2.cv.gv.shawcable.net 64.59.160.15

Modem IP address:
70.66.26.159

I got default gateway and netmask via ipconfig command (ISP Provider says that I can only get these from my computer):

70.66.24.1 default gateway
255.255.252.0 netmask

I used the above info in Linux network setting - still can't connect to internet.

Any ideas how to fix it?
