hi, it is possible to have a modem that kppp thinks is fine but doesn't connect, following a lightning strike my modem became like that, i found that it couldn't sustain a dial tone any more, instead of investigating ways round this - like, is a dial tone necessary, is there a initialisation string one can add? - i got cable instead! maybe this is similar to your situation? try deleting the .DCOP* files in the user home directory and then logging in again, i base this on no actual knowledge but just a hunch, computing as an art form rather than a science, you can tell i'm a windows user can't you? i'm guessing you were logged on as user when you had your brown out? bascule On Thursday 23 August 2001 9:03 am, you wrote: > hello > > over the weekend, there was a brown out at my place and my box went down. i > got myself a UPS but now when i switch on there are several problems left: > > 1. my modem (practical peripherals 33.6k) no longer connects to the > internet even tho kppp see the modem and does all the tests > 2. when i try to log in as a user i get DCOPserver failure of some sort BUT > i can log in as root. > > how can i fix these problems ? > > thanks > > > _________________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
