Re: modem connected but nothing works
What exectly is the make and model of your modem?
"i can view web pages in dos". Can we assume from this that you are dual booting? Just because a modem is working in (say) Windows doesn't mean that it is working in Linux. E.g. there can be a problem with winmodems"A problem well stated is a problem half solved." --Charles F. Kettering

Re: modem connected but nothing works
You are sure that you are connecting in linux(using something like kppp), but the problems is that you can't browse or instant message?
Are you trying to browse using konqueror and using kopete for messaging?Comment

Re: modem connected but nothing works
yes to all of your questions and yes even connecting with kpppComment

Re: modem connected but nothing works
kmenu -> system settings -> advanced tab -> service manager -> under startup services click the network status daemon and then, when it is highlighted, click the stop button, wait a few seconds and click the start button.
Is konqueror now functional?Comment

Re: modem connected but nothing works
The network status daemon should be telling the system when your connection status changes, upon connecting using kppp, but doesn't seem to function correctly.
I don't know of any permanent solution so the problem may crop up again as you connect and disconnect from your isp. It is a minor inconvenience but I just wanted to make clear that you may have to get into the habit of using this solution. It isn't a one time only solution.
If you find this annoying I have never had problems with the opera web browser, only konqueror and kmail (i.e. kde applications). If you haven't tried an alternative browser, such as opera, you may want to give it a try.
