I had a similar problem aboard ship, getting my mail with kppp and
a gsm (that's talking $$'s
if you're abroad :o( .) a few times, inclluding Suse installs.
Try and configure what I did, nothing worked. When doing a fresh
install everything worked fine (not always) a sort of a lottery:o(
Testing by typing www.awellknownadres.somewhere in the KDE
filemanager (nowadays konqueror) gave quick and good evidence
whether the connection was there.
Being logged in at the isp apparently had nought to do with it,
it's internal that's for sure.
