Right. I've had the Konqueror no Internet access problem on the KDE list, but
with no fixes up to now. I now find that if I use KDE's superuser
filemanager, which requires root password, then change the file mamager to
webbrowsing, I can now access the Internet. So it appears that Konqueror can
now only access the Internet when su'ed to root. Very weird.
I now have no idea what has caused this problem. I hadn't booted up Etch for a
while, and there were loads of updates, more than a 1000 outstanding (711MB),
including a lot of KDE stuff. After the updates, (and I hadn't tried to
access the Internet with Konqueror, so don't know know whether it was working
after the updates or not) and getting the updates through apt-get on KDE's
Konsole, I decided to add the Gkrellmip plugin to Gkrellm. Only after doing
that did I become aware of the 169.254.187.86 address, which was now showing
on Gkrellm. then as suggested I removed zeroconf, but only after seriously
messing with ifconfig, and route before posting to the Debian list.
Desktop permissions for Konqueror, superuser filemanager, and Konsole, are
showing my user name for user, and group.
Any suggestions on a fix.
Nigel.
