Hi All, I posted the following a couple of weeks and was advised that a change in /etc/ppp/options of MRU/MTU values (both higher and lower) fix the problem. It didn't. As no other advise has come my way decide to have another shot at it to see if it catches the eye of someone who missed it the first time round who may have an idea of whats going on. System: DSE Terminator 1100 Opsys: Mandrake 9.2 (Powerpack, recently installed)
Problem: using Mozilla Firebird and Konqueror I cannot access any "secure" sites, eg those sites whose address bigins https:// etc The statistics panel from kppp shows very low levels of activity which appears to be my hanshaking to the remote in red but the remote is a solid blue line (no response?? maybe??) I have fiddled with /etc/ppp/options to get it the same as one other local Mandrake user. I have added "domain clear.net.nz" to resolv.conf (both copies). I have checked and rechecked my settings in kppp and the browsers but cannot find the reason for this strange behaviour. As a side note I can easily browse other pages, even with my slow dial-up connection, without too many delays, I can fetch, but not send email. Something is missing?? but what?? UPDATE PART I tried adjusting the MRY/MTU values as suggested but to no avail. Last week did a complete reinstall from the ground up so to speak. Problem still exists,although I can now send mail provided the text is no more than 280 charactors, ie 2 and a bit lines. On longer mails the client hangs at 'sending DATA'. Could this be a smtp config problem and if so how and where do I fix? Could the mail problem be connected to the inablitiy to be able to connect to https:// pages. TIA David a confused Newbie
