> 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
