Marv, I have managed to fix this problem. I deleted the account in KPPP, sudo'd into dolphin, renamed the directory "/etc/resolv.conf", and created an empty file named the same. After doing this, and re-creating the account, I can now connect. However, I still have the problem that eth0 is auto-loaded and has to be manually closed down before dialling out. How can I prevent this?
