problems with internet connectivity

Linux and Unix-Like Red Hat

I had a strange problem.Recently, I virtualized my RHEL 5 system by installing Fedora 8 as guest operating system. The installation went fine. But, after installation my internet connection stopped working. Any suggestions?. I was on TataIndicom wireless USB modem. I haven't had any problems with internet connectivity before virtualizing. I use KPPP to connect to internet. when I see the detials of the connection, I could actually see bytes coming in but not going out.. I haven't modified any of the internet connectivity settings after virtualizing..

Hi
See if you not having default gateway in you lan
default gateway must be empty for that remote address can be used
command is ifconfig
to observe with trace the exactly problem make command
tail -f /var/log/messages (ctrl C to out)
Best regards
