kppp thinks it is connected, and my phone is definitely busy with modem noises until I hang it up, but the kde control centre says I'm not connected and I can't get kmail or konqueror or any other internet program to work.
The only way I can get back online is to use the wizard again, which is a big pain for me and just too difficult for my girlfriend...
Try setting the connection up using the manual setup in kppp. You may need some info about your isp, but there is an option that allows you to enter pppd commands. Add usepeerdns to this because you may not be specifying a DNS server at the moment. Also, are the 2 pcs networked? Make sure you set up the routing so that ppp0 is the default route once you are connected.
