Re: [newbie] kwvdial ??????
I am not sure what you mean here. Do your modem lights indicate that you are connected? And the problem is that Netscape "cannot find" anything? In this case it means you might need to check your file /etc/resolv.conf to see if the DNS nameservers are listed. I mean those xxx.xxx.xxx.x type numbers your ISP gives you. Do #cat /etc/resolv.conf in an xterm and see what happens. Phil On Sun, 30 Jul 2000, Mike Koceja wrote: hello all. i am running Mandrake 7.1 and I have had a lot of problems getting kppp to work.

Invites. http://invites.yahoo.com/ I had a similar problem with Kppp on a ThinkPad running Caldera 2.4. The modem card was a Hayes with a Lucent chipset and none of the stock settings in COAS worked. I got wvdial and it did the same thing you describe. So, the fix: I used the Init and Command sequences that wvdial found for the modem in the COAS Modem config. It works fine now. Bob W.
Re: [newbie] kwvdial ??????
Hi -- I had terrible problems getting Kppp to work. The problem was absurdly simple to fix. Just increase the timeout on the kppp daemon. I use 150 as my timeout, and it works fine. The program is a good one. But the defaults don't work right. Stick in there. pete On Sun, 30 Jul 2000, you wrote: hello all. i am running Mandrake 7.1 and I have had a lot of problems getting kppp to work. So I ditched it and decided to use kwvdial.
