Check for /dev/modem permissions. Make sure 'user' has read access to it. Otherwise, try kppp as 'root' Regards, Nishi MALKIAT BENIPAL wrote: Hi, try to make a new dial up connection in kppp and then try this out.

Somnath Bera well, go to KPPP's indicator lights on your taskbar once you are online, click on it, and then click on 'details' if 'bytes in' shows 64 and continues to stay at it while the 'bytes out' seems to grow (or perhaps stay static) it is most probably an ISP related problem. just disconnect and retry a few minutes later or often even immediately, and it works. i suppose this is how the internet traffic system works, in spurts, and we have peculiar latency and other issues here with some ISPs. okay i may be totally off the mark, but i know from experience that this happens, and the jugaad i am recommending works. :-) LL ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

Re: [ilugd] Problem opening modem by kppp
Sorry Rishi, You were right. I changed the permissions for kppp and it worked. But what stil foxes me is how a power outage can result in change of permission of a file in operation.

Re: [ilugd] Problem opening modem by kppp
No LL, You are widely off the mark. I sent the message from my office Linux box. Incidentally I have got Knoppix installed onto my harddisk both at home and office. I came to like Debian after using all sorts of Distro (RH, Mandrake, SuSE - you name it). And since I could not lay my hands on a Debian set of CDs, Knoppix came in handy. Also I had checked for the running processes. The problem, as I have mentioned in an earlier post, was because somehow the permissions for the kppp got changed. -- narsingh --- LinuxLingam [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Monday 18 August 2003 04:05 pm, you wrote: Hello everybody, Last night while I was browsing the Net, my PC rebooted due to a power problem.
