Default firefox not working with net connection through wireless modem

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.
