Hello, Often after I connect to my server with kppp, kmail and Netscape can't find the server. I can't ping out when this happens either. 70% of the time after booting, Netscape and kmail are just fine. If I just leave my computer on for a while when having problems, it does not clear up. Which indicates to me that my internet provider is not the problem. Because, rebooting helps about 80% of the time. My modem is set to /dev/ttyS1, so no lock problems. Has anyone had anything similar to this? It's weird. Lowering the baud rate does not help. I operate off of a Winbook XL laptop with SuSE 6.2 installed. I am using a Linksys 10/100 + 56k combo card. /var/log/messages doesn't really offer any clues.
