KPPP modem script timed-out ..... i already surfed the net a week ago(in fact i used mozilla..its really faster than opera!)...by using the default config...my question is..why is my modem keep on telling me that the script timed out. I tried increasing the modem timeout...i did not edit the at commands......everythings damn fine becoz im running as root... do i still need to give it permissions(chown for the app KPPP?..pls specify...? i dont see any /etc/resolv.conf existing..it says there.. "File does not exist" ...actually..this is not the 1st time i tried and found out that configuration file is not existing ...i also tried /etc/hosts.allow (still does not exist..but i think this one shoud be done by typing it in any text editor..(am i right) help me... i want to connect again to the internet bcoz i want to study mysql...any good guru's here who want to help a n00b? I neeeed to surf ASAP ...THANKS =)

Sounds like you might be using SuSE...

Try using kinternet or qinternet to connect instead of kppp. Kppp in SuSE is (re)designed to take the European telephone systems into account, that charge you for connect time for local calls.

no dude... IM using Red Hat Linux 9.0 default(not updated kernel)...... is there a way i can use internet for a long time?? linux is really getting a pain in the ass(at least for now) ... but i started smoothly without problems...) not until for another shot.... no more internet..modem hangs up faster... and i dont even know if the server picks it up even b4 it connects....(that's the case right now!)......what can i do about this? PLEASE HELP ME DUDE! IM SICK AND TIRED changing the ttys0 & ttys1 ports(com1 & com2)...the default is /dev/modem...i turned it back to its default settings... peekpekkomabango@yahoo.com
