I've just fired up SUSE 8 and KDE 3, and it looks good. But I have an access problem with kinternet. I dial up, get connected, but fail to login. I use Earthlink as my ISP, and Earthlink tells me to I login as ELN/myid. This works fine with kppp or wvdial, but the Yast2 configuration of kinternet (SUSE 8.0, fully updated) insists on changing this to ELNmyid, which of course doesn't work. FWIW, this was a manual configuration of the modem. It's a PCI-based unit on ttyS4 and could not be identified by YAST2 configuration (though it shows up properly on the hardware lists). After some rooting around, I was led to look at /etc/sysconfig/network/providers, and discovered a configuration file ELNmyid. I tried renaming the file from the console, but attemts to insert the "/" character were rejected, presumably because it is unacceptable in a file name. When I explicitly identify my ISP in the YAST2 configuration (US, Earthlink Net), YAST2 creates an entry in /etc/sysconfig/network/providers called earthlink_net. It doesn't work, either. I don't recall having this problem in SUSE 7.3, which I haven't used for a while. Is this a SUSE 8 problem? A KDE 3 problem? Is there a work-around, or do I just have to use kppp? Thanks for your help. Regards, Matt Prastein
