Did you install the driver?

http://www.suse.de/en/private/produc...softmodem.html

http://www.smlink.com/main/down/slmodem-2.9.10.tar.gz

Installation instructions are in the tar file.

I also have problems with this. I have a SmartLinkUSB modem. I downloaded and installed the drivers from their page and when i try to connect with KPPP i get this error:


When i click on Details it says this:

And the modem log window at all this time:
Also when i try to connect with Kinternet or Qinternet it works, but after a few mins or so my connection just automatically disconnects and Kinternet and Qinternet dont even notice it. I turned off that timeout thing but its still happening.

Also i thought maybe i can surf the web anyway despite that error when KPPP connects (because it is already connected when the error comes out) but it doesnt work. I think the error comes each time when its supposed to send the username and password

1. su to root
2. cp /etc/ppp/peers/ppp /etc/ppp/peers/kppp

Run kppp from konsole and see what error it spits out. You might have to do an 'xhost +' as user, then 'su -' , then 'export DISPLAY=:0.0' before you run it depending on ownership.

i just tryed sorry im a noob

Type this command from konsole -

Don't type the '#', it just signifies the command prompt.

If nothing returns, then run YaST and install kdenetwork3-dialup .

ok ill try that heres what i got from wvdial
