It's been a couple of months since I used Linux, but when I did, I had
no trouble getting out on the Internet. Now, when I try I first get some
error message about a kppp.pid file, and then, although the logging on
process seems to work as it should, I apparently do not get connected to
the Internet.
The modem beeps the way it used to, and the little window tells me
that it is connecting me to the Internet, but when it is finished I can't
get to anywhere in the browser. It tells me that every address is unknown.
I also cannot ping anything. When I give the command ping I don't even get
the prompt back. I guess it just keeps on trying to ping.
I have checked the "kppp configuration" settings, and they are correct
-- they are the same they were a couple of months ago, when everything
worked just fine. I thought that perhaps the DNS settings were wrong (what
do I know? Gotta try something), but they were also correct. I can't
figure this out. Does anybody have any suggestions? I am grateful for all
help.
