I just installed Suse 9.3. I am using 'demand=yes to make an internet conn on starting an internet application. I set the idle time to zero, assuming that this means it will not time out. Problem: my system disconnects ocasionally while I am running an internet application. There is a check box labeled "trigger connect on request of application". I check the box, but when I return, it is unchecked. When I click on 'check mail', I am not connected until I fiddle with the kinternet menu and reclick on 'check mail'. Clicking on refresh in a browser after net accessing a home page on starting the browser does nothing. Reclicking on the home page starts the dialing process. There does not seem to be a consistancy with this problem. tia, John ___________________________________________________ . Account management: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde.
