Can access only access Internet as a Root User

I successfully configured my SuSE Linux 7.1 on my Beige G3/300 to connect to the internet using my DSL connection (DHCP). The problem is that I can only do this as the Root user. I open a terminal window under my regular user account and change to super user. I then type adsl-start and it connects. When I try to launch Netscape or Konquerer as a normal user I get an error message stating that I am not network socket not connected. Although if I run lynx under the terminal window as superuser (root) it connects without a problem. What am I doing wrong? Xavier -- Xavier de Cárdenas xavierdc@verizon.net
