Fedora 11 PPC/Can't surf Web

[lilwoolie]

I downloaded Fedora 11 PPC and finally got it installed but for some reason I can't surf the web. Can someone tell me what settings to change?

I have Fedora 11 User Guide.pdf and I tried what it says about DHCP but that didn't work. I got all the updates. My modem and router are working fine. I use AT&T and they said my line is fine. I have other G4s online and they're fine also.

I've tried reinstalling Fedora 11 PPC 4 times already thinking I did something wrong but to no avail. Fedora 11 PPC has Firefox browser in it. When I open the browser it opens a Fedora page but it won't let me go anywhere else. It says problem loading page. I've accessed my modem (IP addy) and it says I'm online. If installer can get online during install why can't I get online to surf the web? I think its most likely a setting or something. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. =-]

I'm using a G4 dual 500 at the moment

Try the IPv6 thing in Firefox. It goes like this...

1. Start Firefox.
2. Enter about:config in the URL navigation text box.
3. Agree to the somewhat humorous warning.
4. Scroll down to network.dns.disableIPv6.
5. Right-click on that line and toggle it to "true".
6. Try Firefox again.

Anyway, it won't hurt to try.

YES!!! It worked! Thank you stoat. =-]

In Mac OS X I never had to do anything to get online accept open my browser with DHCP. I'm new to Linux. I just wanted to see what all the rave is about Linux. To tell you the truth, the problems I've had to go through just to get it installed and finally working I can't say it's been worth it. It's actually pretty slow on my G4 dual 500 so I'm going to put the drive into my 1.25 mirrored doors and see how it goes.

Thanks again stoat

I have tried using ip s of web sites it works but the DNS names return error loading.

For that, try entering some DNS nameserver IP addresses (from either your ISP or OpenDNS) in the NetworkManager panel applet.
