This one was an enigma till I "fixed" it.
Mandrake dist. 6.0. Used kppp to dial into my ISP and all was well. The problem
was that I couldn't launce anything while I was connected. No email client,
browser, filemanager, terminal, nothing. Thing was though, that any app that
was running before I connected would run normally, unless it launched a seperate
thread. Then, of course, that thread wouldn't run.
My "fix"
I was installing a new kernel and messed up. Of course I didn't make a backup
of my working kernel. That would have been the smart thing to do right? Anyway.
I had to reinstall from my dist. CD and everything worked the way it was
supposed to work after that. I could launce whatever I wanted before and after
and during my connection to my ISP.
