I had a similar problem to that archived at: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/debian-user-200303/msg00256.html
but with an extra twist. I was trying to use pon and poff to access my ISP by dial-up modem. This was on Debian 3.0r1, newly installed on a PC, and using pppconfig to set up ppp with dynamic DNS. I would say: pon and get the reply: PPP: version 2.3.7 (demand dialling) PPP: line discipline registered registered device ppp0 At this stage, Konqueror would sit for 40 seconds and then say that the site was not found. Then I would say: poff Now, if I requested a site in Konqueror, the modem would dial again and this time the site would be found properly! As suggested in the archive, I removed diald, and everything seems to work properly now. (After struggling for many days.) Questions: (1) Why did it work properly when it dialed for itself? (2) Should this be reported as a bug? Note: If I remember correctly, tasksel actually asks if you want diald. For a beginner like me, it looks necessary. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
