having  a problem w/ppp. as root I,
went into ppp.conf and changed USERNAME, PASSWORD, PHONE_NUM to the values
for my isp. then i did a ppp, dial papchap. i did no other configuration.

i then as "lee" ( not as root ) i started X (fvwm2) w/ netscape &.

i did connect, but can't really surf. netscape says:

Netscape has detected a /home/lee/.netscape/lock file This may indicate
another user is running netscape using your /home/lee/.netscape files.It
appears to be running on host 192.168.1.2 under process ID 889. you may
continue to use Netscape but you can not diskcatch, not use global history,
or personal certificates.

the 192.168.1.2  is my ethernet card - which i configured durring install
w/a made up domain name (ham-on-rye.local)too. but i have not used the
ethernet card so far.

my root window manager is kde, but under my normal user (who can su via
wheel) i use fvwm2 - which i prefer.

can anyone help me out to get netscape running ok?
THANKS - newbie

btw, my isp uses dhcp,dns the  whole caboodle
