Bug Description
Binary package hint: knetworkmanager
My machine is an Acer Aspire 5685WLMI, it's running KUbuntu Herd4 dist-upgraded to 21/02.
I connect to the network through the LAN adapter, the wifi adapter is not in use but is detected and working.
When I start KDE and try to use any application that makes use of the network and that Knetworkmanager is started, I can't access the Internet, typically I can't connect to Msn with Kopete, Akregator and Konqueror can't browse the Internet either.
As soon as I quit KNetworkManager, everything works fine.
The problem doesn't seem to affect Firefox but I suppose it's because it doesn't use the same network libraries.
There is just one exception for Kde applications, the Jabber plugin of Kopete seems to work even when Knetworkmanager is running.

Is your network connection managed by knetworkmanager (lan or wifi)? Or is knetworkmanager not really managing the active interface?
Can you execute:
dcop kded networkstatus status hostname
(replace hostname with hostname of your mail server, msn server, whatever that you lack access to)
You should execute the above command with knetworkmanager running and when not running.
