Re: [newbie] Unable to surf and do e-mail
Matthew, could you please turn off html for posts to the list? Many of us don't use it, or display it. Others simply never see any post that is in html.

Hi Matthew, I also recently had problems with surfing and email on Mdk 9.0. A complete reinstall did it for me but for you, do check that the bottom left blue plugs(if you're using Mozilla) are connected. They do not automatically connect when you dial up or disconnect when you drop the connection. HIH Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I found that on some installs it starts up automatically and unless you use MCC (Mandrake Control Center) and do a run through of the configuration, you don't even have to change anything, just run through it, it will block internet access. So open it for configuration or turn it off and see if you can then connect.

Anybody have a solution?? I had the same problem which I fixed by downloading the 'one-interface' file from smoothwall web site and decompress the archive into a tmp directory. Then you have change to that directory and edit the 'interface' file. I had to change the line at the bottom of the file to define the internet connection as using ppp0 and not eth0. Then I copied all of the files from the download archive to /etc/shorewall. Worked like a charm with no further problems. HTH Graham Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [newbie] Unable to surf...
Are you able to resolve anything else? For example, can you ping you ISP's webserver? Can you ping the microsoft site, slashdot or freshmeat? When kppp dies, does your modem stay online or does it drop the carrier - should be easy to tell by looking at the lights, seeing as it's an external modem. Does kppp write anything to its log when it crashes? If so, post the relevant bit.

How are you Killing the process? Did you try deleting this file? /home/chal/.kde/share/apps/kppp/kppp.pid the chal is my user name, so apply whatever yours is there.
