KInternet disconnecting
Hi all.
I installed SUSE 9.3 Two days ago so I am definitely a newb. My question is: How can I get KInternet to stop disconnecting my modem about every five to ten minutes? Also, YAST shows that I have wvdial installed but I can't find it. It isn't listed with the KInternet dialer on my main menu. Where should I look for this program? TIA. LTR |

Normally you should need neither. In the system-tray in the lower right corner is a little symbol like a plug. Click on this and it will handle the details (connecting / disconnecting). |
Hi and thanks for your reply.
Here is the log you requested. SuSE Meta pppd (smpppd-ifcfg), Version 1.58 on linux. Status is: disconnected trying to connect to smpppd connect to smpppd Status is: disconnected Status is: connecting pppd[0]: Plugin passwordfd.so loaded. pppd[0]: --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.54.0 pppd[0]: --> Initializing modem. pppd[0]: --> Sending: ATZ pppd[0]: ATZ pppd[0]: OK pppd[0]: --> Sending: AT Q0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 pppd[0]: AT Q0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 pppd[0]: OK pppd[0]: --> Sending: ATM1 pppd[0]: ATM1 pppd[0]: OK pppd[0]: --> Modem initialized. pppd[0]: --> Sending: ATDT7726428 pppd[0]: --> Waiting for carrier. pppd[0]: ATDT7726428 pppd[0]: CONNECT 115200 pppd[0]: --> Carrier detected.

(exit code 12) You suggested that I use the plug shaped connection icon in my system tray. That is exactly what I've been doing. It is identified as KInternet. I note from reading the log that apparently it is also the wvdial program. You asked why I thought it was KInternet causing the disconnection. I guess I don't really, but I don't know what else it would be. I've been with the same ISP for ten years and they have never cut me off even after several hours on line. I've used Kppp in the past and it never cut me off but I am unable to figure out how to use it In SUSE. It tells me that I must be root to use it and won't let me connect. So I deduced, perhaps incorrectly, that it was the KInternet program causing the disconnect. I hope this info will help to find the problem. BTW while I was typing this I was once again disconnected. Again, thank you. LTR |
Hi, Lang
Thanks for posting the protocoll output. For security's sake please edit your post and change your four IP-adresses to something like local IP address nn.mmm.ll.kkk so as to avoid possible future trouble Okay, here is the culprit Quote:

Thanks for all your help!!
I know it was pretty stupid to send my my IP addresses etc but frankly I didn't even read the log until it appeared here. I have now edited my post thanks for the heads up. Your suggestion to use yast did the trick the page is about 3 pages back under modem config. I changed the timeout to 0 and so far I am staying connected. Again, thanks. LTR |
