HELP... RED HAT 7.3 and ppp

[majesty250]

Hi everybody,

I'm having a $#@%$@# problem dialing into internet using linux red hat 7.3.

I already set up the connection and it seems work fine, I get the connection to the provider but mozilla can't reach any page. Looking at the messages log, I saw the following lines:

modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp0
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp0
pppd[3200]: pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid 0
pppd[3200]: Using interface ppp0
pppd[3200]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1
/etc/hotplug/net.agent: assuming ppp0 is already up
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-21
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-21

pppd[3200]: primary DNS address 212.216.112.222
pppd[3200]: secondary DNS address 212.216.172.162
pppd[3200]: CCP: timeout sending Config-Requests

What's wrong?
Please help me.
Thanks in advance

looks like ppp is not installed or in a different directory maybe. try to do this

prompt>$ locate ppp

if it does not find it you might want to try and to an update

prompt>$ updatedb

then run locate again.

you could also use which

prompt>$ which ppp

the difference between which and locate is that which will search through the directorries in your path for the specific program where as locate will search the system db for every instance of ppp. So if is on your pc and not installed you will see it.

I Hope this helps in some way. Also how do you connect? do you use a chat script? or red hats
