Thanks for helping, Purple and C. Hamel! Consider that I am *not* using a DNS server, but a dial-up connection. I have never needed to set DNS to access internet whether on Windows or Linux. Some more ideas? a. The Purple Tiger escreveu:

what should it be? some peoples told me that when this kind of things happen it should be misconfiguration with DNS. Is it true?
Hello Adagilson, It could be that you have not set up / are not pickup up the DNS servers. Connect to the internet and try opening up:
http://www.google.com/ If it doesn't work, then try: http://216.239.59.99/ If the second one works then yes, it is a DNS issue. I have not used dialup in a number of years, so I cannot help with that setup - there are others on this list far more knowledgable than I, but this should determine whether DNS is the cause. If the second URL didn't work, then it may be that you need to access the web via a proxy server OR there is something else amiss.
Hope this helps in some way, shape, or form :)
Take care,
Jon
