[ILUG] problems with wvdial and pppd

[Conor Lennon]

Hi,
I've been dialing into Esat/IOL SurfNoLimits using wvdial since the
beginning of the year from SuSE linux.
No problem there.

A week ago I trying to install koffice.  There were some rpm conflicts,
so I was removing and installing different packages.

Now I can't dial up to the internet.
I've reinstalled wvdial and pppd - no joy there.

When I start wvdial, it goes ahead and dials up successfully, and pppd
is started. (ps -A |grep pppd shows pppd is running)
However netscape, ping, ftp, etc. don't think there's a connection to
the internet.

I've set up a second installation of SuSE linux, and I can dial up with
that.

Has anyone any ideas what files I should compare between the two
installations?

They both have the same wvdial.conf
pppd in both installations is run with the same command line arguments.

Thanks in advance
Conor
