It might. When did this start happening?
etc resolv.config is what your computer looks up to get the list of DNS servers.
You _did_ put in the DNS server ips in your kppp setup, right? Go look for the
/resolv.config file. It will be in /etc/.
Open it if you do find it. What's in it?

The SAME?! Ah...that means you've not really got on the net. ppp never got up.
What this means is that your modem is not communicating with the outside world
since that's what the pppd does. Ergo, you never connected to your dial-up
server.
How do you know your modem is working? Do you hear the dialing? The handshaking?
Try this:
open kppp
go to setup
click on the [modem] tab
now click [Query Modem]
A dialog full of ATx results will come up.
Let me know your results. If they are blank...your modem is not working (at
least in Linux)
If your modem is not working...you'll need to set it up first. Is it
external/internal?
If it is external and hooked up to serial 2 (or COM2 in M$speak):
Open up kppp -> setup
click on [Device] tab
Choose:
/dev/ttyS1 (for com2 com1 is ttyS0)
CRTSCTS
CR/LF
Connection speed 57600 or 115200.
If it is internal...you'll need to know which tty it's connected to...
