Are you on dialup or broadband internet connection?
no2

[M0E-lnx]

after the connection completes, try running

Code:

dhcpcd <interface>

no2

It is broadband.

[hata_ph]

can you get the IP from your connection?
post your ifconfig output...
try to ping www.google.com

The first thing to check is to see if the NIC card is
showing up. Without the hardware being checked
and confirmed to be running then checking other
things is not productive.

Check ifconfig and see if there are 2 entries, one for
lo and one for eth0 or wlan0 or something in that range.

Is this a wireless or wired connection?

Please post the NIC card name,make and model number.

I wrote in termanal ifconfig:
-when the connection is up:

Code:

-when the conection is down:

Code:

ping: unknown host www.google.com

This appears to be a DNS problem when the link
is down eth0 is still showing so check by using ping
again but also try ping 209.85.171.99 (ip addy  of Google).

But i have am other problem:
Now i am using ubuntu...in my desktop i have 4 partitions 2 for vector and 2 for ubuntu...after i instal the vector i cannot use ubuntu because after the starting computer appears a graphic menu where i can choose to load only vector.When i want  use the ubuntu wich i am using now i must reinstal ubuntu.After starting computer i don't have a graphical menu(blue)(appears a simple meniu where i can choose ubuntu.

How can do I for having all sistems in one menu??

I will reinstal  again tomorrow vector for  try ping 209.85.171.99

I think it's a resolver problem
dhcpcd eth0 should fix it

I did this...I wrote in console dhcpcd eth0 and  appeared one message I don't record it very good but it contain this words 'new lines'

I have had a situation on my laptop where eth0 takes priority over my wireless (eth1) even though eth0 is not connected.  What I have to do to resolve the situation is bring down eth0 and then the system will utilize eth1.

as root: ifconfig eth0 down

Then internet works for me after that.

It looks as though florinbrasov has a successful connection via ppp with IP assigned.  Then his eth0 has an other IP assigned.  To me, this seems conflicting (but perhaps one depends on the other???).  It may be worth a try bringing down eth0 to see if the problem is resolved after that.  I guess you can test by trying to ping google:

Code:

ping www.google.com

If it doesn't work then you can bring eth0 back up:
ifconfig eth0 up

[florinbrasov]

Thank you newtor now it works(you are the best).
But it is an other problem wich I resolved:an user like me that have the same problem must writee in console at every reestart of computer:

Code:

ifconfig eth0 down

and

Code:

pppoe-start

  for internet conection.So for starting conection automaticaly must open this direectory '/etc/rc.d/' and must to edit ''rc.local'
At end of file write: 

Code:

ifconfig eth0 down

and

Code:

pppoe-start
