Hi all... Using 9.3 with Kmail and Kinternet (wvdial too) I have a problem(s). When I connect the address lookup does not work. Using Kinternet's "check connection" it says "Nameserver failure: Address lookup does now work" I then try to d/l my email and about 3 out of 4 times Kmail tells me that it could not find "pop.gmx.net" etc. Can someone give me an idea what is wrong? But useing Mozilla I can surf the net fine. BTW this did not happen with 9.2.

Upgrade or clean install? Are you sure from your **written notes** that you have both the DNS entrys and pop 3 address correct? Sometimes in evolution the passwords stop working so I have to expunge them and then get and send mail manually entering the passwords. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/

I don't use DNS and I'm sure that my pop addresses are good, they do work sometimes. I noticed that when I can't get Kmail to work, I go surf the net for a few minutes, come back and I can d/l my mail.

It seems your isp is having connection problems. Try having dialer kinternet / ginternet up first then open your mailer program. Click the dialer and click view log, view data rate and check connection if the last line in the log is not connected you are not. Also check the time out in your modem setup I have set mine set to 300. By going on the web your maintaining the connection so it does not shut down. -- _______ _______ _______ __ / ____\ \ / / ____|_ _\ \ / / | | \ \ /\ / / (___ | | \ \ / / | | \ \/ \/ / \___ \ | | \ \/ / | |____ \ /\ / ____) |_| |_ \ / \_____| \/ \/ |_____/|_____| \/ | \ /|\ || |\ / |~~\ /~~\ /~~| //~~\ | \ / | \ || | X |__/| || |( `--. |__ | | \| \_/ / \ | \ \__/ \__| \\__/
