Add User to Group
For kppp to be started from the menu, the user name needs to be added to the group "dip."
To do this, open the Root Terminal, and type:
gpasswd -a (username) dip
Insert username where it says (username).
It is not necessary to turn the computer off and restart now, but if you do, you will be able to start Kppp from the menu.
You may also get a message saying:
"/etc/resolv.conf is missing or can't be read! Ask your system administrator to create this file (can be empty) with appropriate read and write permissions."
Let's create this file.
Create File resolv.conf
In the Root Terminal, and type:
cd /etc
touch resolv.conf
This file is now created.
Kppp will now start without displaying the message.
Before you can send or receive anything on the internet, there needs to be one more modification.
Modify /etc/ppp/peers/kppp-options
Open the Root File Manager.
Go to "/etc/ppp/peers/" and open the file "kppp-options."
The contents of the file are:
#noauth
Delete the "#," so it becomes:
noauth
Save the file.
Close the Text Editor and File Manager.
For this to take effect, turn the computer off and restart.
Kppp will now work.
Set Up Kppp
Following is an explanation of how to set up Kppp using common options. In some situations the information which needs to be entered may be different. Enter information as appropriate for your situation.
Begin by clicking on "KPPP" in the menu to open it.
Click "Configure." You will see a new window.
Click "New." You will see a new window.
You may try "Wizard" and see if it works. Only some countries are included here. If your country is not included, you cannot set it up using this method. Let's use Manual Setup.
Click "Manual Setup." You will see a new window.
Click "Add." You will see a new window.
Enter the phone number your computer dials to connect to the internet. Then click "OK." This will close this window and take you back to the previous one.
Enter the name of your internet provider in the box following "Connection name." (You can enter anything here.)
You may click on the "Accounting" tab and set up accounting if you want to record your phone costs, but this is not necessary.
Click "OK." This will close this window, and take you back to the previous one.
Click the tab "Modems."
Click "New."
Enter the name of your modem in the box following "Modem name." (You can enter anything here.)
The box following "Modem device" needs to set as appropriate for your modem. If you have an internal modem, leave it as "/dev/modem." If you have an external serial modem, it may be "/dev/ttyS0." If you are not sure, try different ones and see which works.
In the box following "Connection speed," change it to "115200."
Click "OK." This will close this window, and take you back to the previous one.
Click "OK" again. This will close this window, and take you back to the previous one.
