Problem with PPP


Hi
I have a problem with PPP.
I use red hat 9 with Kernel
Some days ago I have adjourned the drivers of the video card (nvidia)
after the reboot of the system seemed all ok!
When I try to connect me to internet I have the following error:
****************************************************************************
[root@localhost root]# kppp

Opener: received OpenLock

Opener: received OpenDevice
QMetaObject::findSignal:Accounting: Conflict with AccountingBase::changed(QStrin g,QString)

Kernel supports ppp alright.
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device

It was pppd that died

Hi,

I take it this problem started after you installed nvidia drivers. I think your modem software may have been damaged. Did you have to install seperate drivers for the modem at some point? If so I'd try to re-install them. Unfortunetly I'm not familiar with the messages you've provided.
