The fact that command line apps work is a promising first step. I'd agree with Rick Scott, that it's probably something in your GUI. Perhaps the GUI apps are not sensing your manual change in resolv.conf? Is there a way to restart background Konqueror slaves? Maybe restart KDE while you keep the PPP connection going, to see if that changes behaviour at all. > 2.

I haven't tested with Kppp. Barry only talks with the pppd daemon and the Blackberry device itself. It doesn't know anything about TCP or DNS, only passing PPP packets back and forth. If there is any interaction with Network Manager, it would be with pppd, not Barry. - Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Barry-devel mailing list Barry-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/barry-devel
