[Ilugc] Unable to browse net / collect mail in MDK 10.0

Through KPPP, am able to connect, but unable to browse
the net. Konqueror or Mozilla says it is unable to find
the site.
Retrieving the mail thru fetchmail -u "username" -p pop3 "mail.vsnl.com"
gives "Unable to find the canonical name of mail.vsnl.com" error
message. fetchmail to "mail.vsnl.net" also gives the same error message.
What is happening? Where I should check for errors? I have used MDK 9.0
/9.1 and all without any such problems in the past.
check your routing tables. They should have ppp0 as the default gateway
Please check for the same.

<This line in your case should have a ppp0 entry>

Redhat in another 10 GB partititon (that's my primary OS) connects and I
am able to receive mails, browse the net,no problems.
Also check your DNS settings
for ppp0 inside /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0
you must have
PEERDNS=yes
Also try a traceroute -d mail.vsnl.net to see where you are getting stuck
traceroute mail.vsnl.net
traceroute to mail.vsnl.net (203.200.235.182), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets
1 10.10.24.100 (10.10.24.100) 0.668 ms 0.466 ms 0.321 ms
2 10.10.25.100 (10.10.25.100) 0.302 ms 0.221 ms 0.193 ms
3 * *
The * in this case tells me that beyond my first floor router the packets
are not going...so there is something wrong there
