Dear Debian Users,
i tried to configure my Com Port Modem with pppconfig. It doesn't work.
The problem is not the Hardware, because he dials and even seems to go in the
internet (with wvdial) . Under kppp Error massage 1 appears.
But Konqueror or other Browsers can't show internet pages. I've added the
Protocol, perhaps you see my mistake.
Thanks a lot Christian
From the looks of of the snippit below it looks like you are getting
connected and getting all the info from your ISP (dynamic IP, DNS, etc)

However diald is stepping in and trying to call out to a "private"
address (192.168.0.2)

I suspect you have a NIC installed that has been configured previously
with a "gateway" entry. If so, then it will NOT allow pppd to set a new
"defaultroute" (or "gateway"). The first thing you should do is check
your /etc/network/interfaces file and see if it has a "gateway" entry
and remove it or comment it out.
Second, I have found trying to run the "diald" program while you are
still trying to get the basic connection going introduces a very large
number of new variables into the equation. If you intend running diald,
then you should probably dig into that documentation for more help. If
you didn't even realize it was on your system, then I would just remove
it and proceed on with getting kppp or wvdial running first. You can
always re-install it and work on getting it going later AFTER you have a
"working" PPP connection. Incidently, I have found the "demand"
function of pppd works every bit as well, and is easier to set up, IMHO.
