I know this is kind of vague but I have a quick question. I have a friend who can connect using kppp but can not surf. When he connects he is getting assigned and IP address. Can anyone guide me in where to start looking for the problem and what to do to troubleshoot this.
Best guess is that for some reason there's nothing in /etc/resolv.conf. Try entering his ISP's name servers manually. IIRC, kppp *should* make a temporary entry for the name servers that it is told about when it makes the connection, but it might not make the entry or even be told about the name servers in the first place.
