[ubuntu-nz] A problem with dial-up

[Ken]

  Jason,

     Thanks for your prompt reply.
     I that setting has never been a problem before. I have tried 
changing the group to dip as suggested on some post in Ubuntu forums. It 
has not made any difference, the warning changed to "open to group".

Ken.
