Okay, my turn to ask questions:
I am setting up a machine for someone else who will only have dialup
access to the internet. I have managed to configure the modem without
any trouble; kppp can dial in, connect, and authenticate, and I can even
surf and ping and all that good stuff.
Here's the *strange* part:
Once connected, I can't *open* anything. Nix. Nada. I can't open
anything on the Kpanel, I can't open apps from the Kmenu... the system
is paralyzed. All I can do, it seems, is disconnect kppp.
No error messages of any kind.
If I have Netscape open when I connect, I can surf normally. If I don't
have Netscape open, I'm SOL -- because it won't open.
After I disconnect -- bingo, I can open apps again.
Peculiar, no?
