Hi everyone. i can't run kinternet as I used to be able to do in 7.2 after the upgrade to 7.3. "Connection to local and remote server refused. Maybe the smpppd is not running or you are not a member of the group 'dialout'". I am a member of dialout and wvdial works and connects fine. Any ideas anyone? Thanks, Steve.

I had the same problem. I fixed it by making sure that smpppd was started at bootup. Try running "/etc/init.d/smpppd start" and see if that helps. If so you should make it permanent with "insserv smpppd". Once I did that, it seemed like I had fewer problems with my internet connections than with the old scheme, if that's any consolation. Daniel
