[shams]

can you browse any website?

[keziah]

yes i i have internet connection

[shams]

enable dhcp and named in menu -> system sittings -> server settings -> services

[keziah]

I dont have DHCP or named on the menu

[AndyGreen]

Not sure how dhcp and named would have helped you anyway.

Best way forward is to try to collect more info on what is happening on the network when you try to connect.

Get to root with su - and run

tcpdump

in a terminal window. Then try to connect, and paste the results of tcpdump in a post here. Ctrl-C will terminate tcpdump.

Am I missing something? There are no attempts to connect to a remote server in this dump. Are you certain this dump represents the period that you started up Gaim or whatever and tried to connect? Which of these IPs is yours? 192.168.?.?

[keziah]

192.168.1.224,
here is another,i run tcpdump then try to connect using kopete

Is it possible that something between your machine and yahoo is dropping connection attempts on, or responses from, port 5050? For example a router on your site, or some policy from dsl.info.com.ph?

the weird thing is i can use my yahoo using windows , before i can use gaim suddenly it just wont work, i did not change any settings. is it possible i am infected with worms or viruses i dont have any protection installed on my pc.

No, it is unlikely you are infected with anything. For sure there is no suspicious traffic coming out of your network.

What is the difference between your Windows machine and the Linux one in terms of network topology? Or is it the same box?

the weird thing is i can use my yahoo using windowsIs that true right now? If not maybe the problem is coming from your ISP. Apparently some ISPs have a "Yahoo box" that handles that traffic separately, maybe that has black smoke coming out of it at the moment.

that is good news !it is the same box , i am using dual boot,,i dont know about my isp if theyre using any yahoo box.is it wise if i re install my fedora?

[AndyGreen]

is it wise if i re install my fedora?Nope.

You need to find out if your Windows box is working at the moment for Yahoo. So I would reboot into Windows and try it, then back into Linux and try it. If it worked in Windows and not Linux then I am scratching my head. For sure your Linux box is trying to contact Yahoo but not hearing anything back.

guess what? youre right theres some problem with my isp, i am now using another one..but the question is i cant use gaim with fedora but with windows i can use my yahoo messenger, thank you very much anyway, you guys make internet a better place..(applause!)
