The file that you want to edit is the rc.local file In 7.1 it looks like
a mini TV. Right click on it and choose edit then add the 2 setserial lines
to the bottom. By doing this the 2 lines are used each time you boot
otherwise you would have to manually enter them each time which would be a
drag.
You cannot connect to the internet using Netscape or any other program.
You have to connect to the internet first and then launch Netscape You
should also verify in Kppp that you correctly entered the IP addresses for
your ISP.
As for disabling "logging on to network" I am not sure what you mean by
disabling. If you do not want to see it after you click connect, click hide
and the box will disapear. The Network that it is refering to is your ISP.
