Hi,
I am using wireless broadband modem in Fedora 14. Network manger is able to detect it. My system is getting an IP on ppp0 and icon on desktop top is showing that network manager has detected it. But Mozilla firefox is giving error "Server not found". Though i am able to ping or nslookup any url from terminal.
Even if i put ip of google server on firefox, it is able to launch the first page,. It is able to show search result. But it can not launch any link from that search page. For websites like Yahoo, it is not able launch the home page also.
I tried with eth0 and lo disabled also, but no use.
Thanks and regards,
Souvik Roy

It sounds like you're not getting a DNS server address. Without being able to connect to a DNS server your computer can't translate a website name like www.example.com to an IP address like 127.0.0.1.
cat /etc/resolv.conf
If you don't see any addresses or if you see invalid addresses, then you have found your problem.
/etc/resolv.conf has DNS advertised by my ppp connection. That's why nslookup or ping is working with url. But somehow firefox is not able to translate or use those.
