I had this problem too. The only solution I found was to check the "disable
local dns's" button in the kppp setup. This worked imediately.

Subject: [expert] KDE-1.1.2 Miscellaneous problems
Importance: High
I have just installed Mandrake/Helios on my K6-2/300 and am using the KDE
desktop only.
I have several questions.
I have installed and configured kwvdial (as root, initially). It dials
out, connects to my ISP and stays connecte, but every app that I try,
Netscape mail tool and XFMail, as two examples, gives me an unknown host
error message. I'm sure that it must be something really simple that I've
failed to do, but I don't know what.
I'm using Netscape Communicator v4.7 (used it pre-Helios without any
problems) and put an icon on the icon bar. When I attempt to open it using
the icon it opens and immediatly closes, and generates
/usr/local/netscape/lock. If I then click on the icon again I get the
usual already running message and it opens and stays open.. I can open it
with Alt-F2 /usr/local/netscape/netscape without this sort of behavior.
Assistance will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
