Dear Sir,
I have a machine loaded with mandrake linux 9.1.I had configured through mandrake linux control centre for connection to my ISP and i have been using the internet for the past six months.But during the last 3 days even though modem established connection with ISP whenever i try to access any site through the browser the following message appears:"Error loading www.----.com.Unable to locate host www.----.com".The mandrake control centre also says connection is not established to the internet.But the actual dial up connection to the ISP's line is through.
In a similar condition a windows machine is able to establish connection to the same account and it is possible to browse the internet. This as i said before is a recent phenomenon.What could it be due to.Can any body help.
Thanks

When your connection drops, are you able to ping Yahoo by ip? 216.109.117.108

Could be one of the modem strings isn't set properly, so the modem is connected at a hardware level, but the software thinks it's disconnected...
