Binary package hint: network-manager-gnome

9.10 Karmic

The network manager reports that the connection has been made to the internet.
When I surf a website, the webbrowser complains that there is no connection.

Solution: add the following lines to /etc/ppp/options

ipcp-max-configure 30
ipcp-max-failure 20
