internet problem on Mandriva LE2005

This is a discussion about internet problem on Mandriva LE2005 in the Everything Linux category; I have just installed LE2005 from Mandrake 10. All went well except that I no longer able to access the internet or e-mail. I have a dial up connection that does connect to my ISP but when I launch any web browser or e-mail program I get nothing, any ideas?.

Hmmm I recall having similar problems at one time
 
can you open a terminal and type
 
ifconfig
 
and see what the output is? You may need to be root to run the command, but I don't think so.
 
you may need to do an
 
ifconfig ppp0 up
 
or something along those lines.
