Hello SuSE folk.
I can connect to my ISP using kinternet (pppd) just fine, and stay connected. Problem is that I cannot connect to the web, use e-mail, ftp, nothing.
Problems started after an apt-get upgrade. Lots of packages so I don't know which one to blame. I checked every conceivable configuration file in ppp that I could think of. I then reinstalled kinternet from the SuSE CD. No change.
This ISP uses PAP-secrets.Right clicking on the kinternet icon,"check connection", shows the dynamic addresses for the ISP and my computer but does not come up with a server name.
Only one strange thing that I have found is in the ppp/peers/resolv.conf file. It displays some strange address (206.165.75.20) Where, if I remember correctly should be the DNS server numbers of my ISP. I change it to that DNS and as soon as I connect it reverts to the 206 etc. number.I don't remember or know if it is supposed to do that or not and have no idea what that address is. Checking that number in Windoze says it is unknown.
What is it that allows web-browsing, e-mail collection etc. after the connection is established? Need help here; I have run out of ideas.
Don't know exactly what I did, but I took a look at the Yast Runlevel editor. There was a bunch of stuff in there that did not look right to me so I changed them. Voila, able to connect to the outside world again. Bob s.
