Alexander: I had received one other private admonition to this effect. It has been duly noted - I hadn't been aware of the problem of doing things in this way. The error shall not be repeated.

This is another new user question: I have successfully set up my first Linux system and connected to the internet via dial-up (this is a home system). I was able to get my modem to work by using the Network Device Control dialogue where I was able to configure my modem to dial up my ISP. This works well. When I tried to use KPPP, however, I had a problem. There are a few more settings in KPPP, but I basically took the defaults, entering the ISP info where required. It dials out and connects fine. When I try to use mail or a browser, however, it gives me an error. Does someone have an idea? Is this a permissions issue, or a firewall setting? I've been through the settings in KPPP and tried a couple of alternatives, but they don't seem to make a difference.

Please don't hijack foreign threads: don't reply to a list mail when you want to post a fresh new one!
Check your /etc/resolv.conf file to have the nameservers of your ISP in there.
