I don't know whether I am adding to the confusion or helping. I have been using a dialup modem and very easily acessing it via kppp. I am changing to dsl which involved pitting in a lan card. My dsl connection isn't even set up yet but I found that connecting the LAN card led to a similar problem where kppp would connect OK but email, browser etc would not work. I sort of got around it by using mandrake control centre to set up a separate profile configured for dial up access. The only problem now is that I have to use mandrake control centre to access the dial up.
