Nathan, apologies if you have done all this...so your modem connects when you dial as root - what do you mean by no internet access? It could be a routing problem or a domain name resolution problem - check the pppd logs. Check your default route is being set when you dial up. If you can browse to internet sites using ip numbers then routing is fine but you need to set up your domain name servers. (try pinging www.google.co.nz and its ip 62.102.7.99. ) As far as not connecting as a regular user I'm afraid i'm not a suse or kde expert (i'm a slackware user). If root connects but user cannot it really sounds like a permission problem. But pppd _and_ kpp have options for locking the modem and you don't want both trying to do that so you could try unchecking the 'Use Lock File' in kpp Device tab or check /etc/ppp/options and remove the lock option. You could also try wvdial :) - I think KInternet uses wvdial...not sure or better still man pppd do it yourself and just setup a wee script to connect ;) Graeme Nathan Cook wrote: > Thanks Graeme for the quick replies, can get root to connect just fine > but no access to the internet under root, I chmod 777 the /var/lock > folder but my user name still could not get the modem to connect, came > up with the error below.
