Dear friends: Using Mandrake 7.0 Just a while back I told the whole world how, with the help of a number of list members, I finally solved my kpppd connection problem. Well, yes, I did. I click on pppd, connect and it goes through the routine (as I see in the log screen) and soon it CONNECTS at 57,000 or whatever. Then it says "done" and I turn the log off and I can see by the docked icon that it is still on and the graph shows kppp to be fully connected and functioning. BUT, when I turn on Netscape, Realplayer or my FTP program, all I get is blank pages with the error message: "server could not be found." I was fooled earlier because I had my ADSL on simultaneously with my kpppd. So, while kpppd was indeed functioning, I was surfing the web and listening to my radio thanks to ADSL, not my dial-up modem. This time I turned off my ADSL modem, turned off my computer and rebooted. When I got to XWindows WITHOUT my ADSL, I clicked on kpppd. It connected but, as I said, I couldn't get to my home page in Netscape (the N.Y. Times page) It was blank. And I got that "can't connect to your server" or whatever message. However, I didn't have any problem connecting to my Unix shell account at our local Free Net using my minicom communications program. I got in and got to the New Times page (using Lynx). So, the modem is obviously able to connect to the outside world. I can't help but wonder what in the world is going on? Would appreciate any help or explanations or suggestions. Thanks so very much.
