adsl problem with vl 5.9

maybe it's a strange situation but i can't work it out.
i use slackware too and i've not the same problem:
the adsl connection does not work in VL 5.9 and in 5.8 too.
I make the usual pppoe-setup.
i inputed the same i inputed in slackware
then
pppoe-start
..connected
good ?
not
i try with firefox, opera, links, everything
but they can't connect to the web

i tryed it again setting the firewall value to 0,
nothing to do
i've copied /etc/ppp from slackware
nada de nada
the same for /etc/resolv.conf
un gni é gnit da fé

from ifconfig seems ethernet card is working


root:# ifconfig eth0
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:19:E0:0B:15:2B 
          inet addr:192.168.1.25  Bcast:255.255.255.255  Mask:255.255.255.224
          UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:72 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:82 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          RX bytes:5996 (5.8 KiB)  TX bytes:7359 (7.1 KiB)
          Interrupt:10 Base address:0xc800
    
     any suggestion ?

Check ifconfig -a to look for a ppp0
connection in both Vector and Slackware
you may find that pppoe is not connected.

You mention /etc/resolv.conf is copied from
Slackware that may have changed.

Try ping an ip like 64.233.167.99 instead of a name.

Compare lsmod

ifconfig -a
results
etho, lo,
the same for the both
ther's a difference in ppp0
in vl
ppp0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol 
          inet addr:79.26.247.65

in slack
ppp0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol 
          inet addr:87.6.25.74

lsmod shows less modules in vl than in slack
i added the ones indicated as related to ppp
and now this is the situation

ping
it's like playng ping-pong alone

[bigpaws]

According to whois you are connected to an ISP in
Italy.

Did you try to ping via ip address vs using domain name?

/etc/resolv.conf appears to be the problem area.

googling on the web  i found a post about my same problem,
it was solved simply booting with the modem turned off.

it works, i don't know why, but it works
