As said numerous times before, on SuSE, ignore that kppp even exists. There's a much better replacement for it called kinternet (and yast, smpppd, wvdial, but that's not user-visible). kppp isn't installed by default, why did you install it? > Now when > I click on the icon to connect to the internet it drops the attempted > connection within a couple of seconds. We've been through this recently, though not on 9.2. Look at the logfile by right-clicking on the grey plug in the panel (the smaller one, the fatter one is for power management), and select "view log". What's the error? > The update patches included a kernal update and I wonder if this is the > cause of the problem. It seems to have been on 9.1, when using a Lucent modem. Until the real problem is pinned down, the workaround there seems to be to uninstall the ltmodem driver and to reinstall it. You must reboot after upgrading the kernel. What modem do you have? It's also possible that the providers-NZ.conf file I compiled has wrong settings for some ISPs (I can't test them all). If you're using it and there's a problem with it, please let me know. If you're not using it, you should find it handy. Copy http://volker.dnsalias.net/linux/tech/providers-NZ.conf to /usr/share/providers/NZ.conf before configuring your modem in yast. Sorry, can't help with the chicken+egg problem, but there's a copy on every Updates-CD I burn.
