your pppd is most likely getting disconnected.  I had the same problem so I
started using RP3 via usernet and I was able to maintain my connection once
I got the usernet configured.

I had the same problem. When I started using Usernet it went away. Also
tried kmvdial, pretty handy also.

There are a lot of people complaining about kppp lately (including me).  It
was working fine for me in my COL2.3 distro with the KDE and kppp that
shipped.  Now I am playing with Peanut Linux (kernel 2.2.14, KDE1.1.2) and
the exact same thing is happening mostly as user (not root).  As soon as I
connect,  I immediately get disconnected with the error that "Sorry, the
pppd daemon has died unexpectedly".  I wonder if KDE.org is aware of this
and addressing the issue??   I have downloaded a dialer from freshmeat.net
called XISP that looks like it could be promising.  I haven't installed and
tried it yet.  Hopefully this will get sorted out soon.

did you try "chmod u+s pppd" and/or "chmod u+s kppp" ??? It's in the KDE
ppp faq .. I had that problem with the disconnect, did that, now it
works fine!!

Thanks for the tip, I will go to KDE.org and check for the FAQ's.  I
hope it works for me too!

I did this without luck. Checking /var/log/messages tells me that the dialer (for me both kppp and gnome-ppp) can't get access to /dev/ttyS3 - the modem. Works fine from root. I've tried several combinations of permissions, ownership and group with all files involved (pppd, kppp or gnome-ppp and /dev/ttyS3), no luck. Still works fine from root reguardless of what I do and will immediately disconnect when I hit connect from the user account.

Hi,
when I changed from KDE V1.01 to V1.1.1 I had similar problems. Somwhere in
the net I found the advice to change the modem speed in the preferences of
kppp (simply change, the value doesn't matter!). And after that it worked. I
do not know why. ttfn Uli

Patricia, I belive that's the wrong advice you're giving.  There is an
AWFUL but in RH 6.1 which requires you to do two things to stop that
message.

1.  put "noauth" in the /etc/ppp/options file

2.  After the connection is made, type route add default ppp0

To permanently correct the second problem, you can generally go into
/etc/sysconfig, and edit the file called "network", and take out any
value after GATEWAY=.  This will stop the default route being set on
boot.

The problem people are complaining about bitterly and frequently has
nothing to do with ppp misconfiguration, or chat scripts.  Yes, it
helps to have suid set to root on pppd, but the problem people are
having is caused by Red Hat not doing their homework.  They should be
ashamed at a bug like this which is causing almost everyone (with a
network card perhaps) to have an impossible time connecting to the
internet.  How do they expect people to convert to this great
platform, when they make it so tough.  

The fix to this (and the parallel port not detected problem which you
are also aware of) should be posted with blinking lites and big fonts
so that people with a problem can spot it easily.  Maybe something
like "Red Hat 6.1 users check here for important bug fix information".
That doesn't make the stock price go up, but it gives newbies some
help.

Corel's kppp is broken. To fix it (as root) at command prompt type:
"mv /etc/ppp/options  /etc/ppp/options.old <enter>(renames file)
"touch /etc/ppp/options" <enter>(creates new file)
don't type quotemarks

It works as long as everything else is setup correctly

Good Luck!!

The default route was the problem I was having. It was inserted
automatically by the installer when it detected my network card.

I found that when I installed on a different box (with Redhat 6.1) and told
it NOT to setup my NIC, that it worked fine. I then set up my NIC by hand
afterwards.

I also converted to usernet at that time because KPPP was pissing me off
from the previous install. Regardless mine works fine now.

If people want copies of any of my files let me know, Ill post.

Thanks for sharing, this fixed my wvdial prob as an ordinary user.  

Using Usernet, the modem kept getting stuffed, so I had to keep
rebooting to get it back, with wvdial it doesn't.

It sounds as though your system is not set to allow ordinary users to dial 
out if you've got the same prob with all those apps.

go into a terminal window, do a su you'll be prompted for the root password, 
then when you're in as root do linuxconf, then in the window that opens up 
go into Config -> Networking -> PPP/SLIP/PLIP then in the hardware tab of 
the window that opens up put a check next to "Allow any user (de)activate 
the interface."

I hope this helps.
