internet connection in Fedora Core 4

Hi,
I am able to connect to the internet from windowx Xp side of my
comp. but unable to do so from FC4 side. I have ADSL connection with
Huawei's SmartAX MT800 modem. I have a RTL8139D based 100/10 PCI
ETHERNET ADAPTER through which i connect to the modem. During boot up i
get the following mesage:
Bringing up interface eth0:
Determing IP information, failed; no link present. Check cable?
[failed]
Bringing up interface ppp0: [ok]

when i enter
$ lynx http://www.google.co.in/
Looking up www.google.co.in
Unable to connect to remote host www.google.co.in
Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host
Lynx:Can't access start file http://www.google.co.in/
$

This is the o/p of dmesg in regards to SELinux:

$ dmesg
......
SELinux:Initialising
SELinux:Sarting in permissive mode
selinux_register_securrity:Registering secondary module
....
SELinux: Registering net filter hooks
....
SELinux: Disable at runtime
SELinux:Unregistering netfiler hooks
....

I tried disabling seliinux from affeccting dhcp by
#setsebool dhcp_disable_trans=1
setsebool:SELinux is disabled

(the above cmd i got through googling)

I am not able to ping 68.142.2296.37(which is the yahoo server). It
returns destination host unreachable. This is my /etc/resov.conf

;genereated by NetworkManager, do not edit!
;use a local caching name server controlled by Network Manager

nameserver 127.0.0.1

This is the o/p of config

I tried adding the defaultroute to pppd by:
1 pppd defaultroute
2. adding defaultroute to /etc/ppp/option
3. create ~/.ppprc and add defaultroute to the file

But none of it worked.

Any suggestion?

Thank you,

with regards,

That message is not related to DNS server configuration. It indicates
a routing problem.

This looks good.

So does this.

Get rid or the "eht0" default route. Please don't hand-copy, learn
to cut-and-paste.

It should when the "eht0" default route is removed. It's likely set
on boot-up, and just how varies with the distribution. Since I don't
use FC4 I can't say anything specific about how it can be prevented
from being set.

This is an indication that either your network card is not connected, or
it is not able to get a DHCP address. Check your cabling because if
eth0 is not coming up you are not going to be able to connect to
_anything_. eth0 is your ethernet network card.

It may well mean eth0 doesn't get an IP address, but it doesn't need
one for PPPoE ADSL. The Ethernet connection only serves as a physical
layer conduit for PPPoE Discovery frames sent to the Ethernet broadcast
address and PPPoE Session frames with encapsulated PPP frames sent to
the Ethernet address obtained by Discovery.
