Ouch- nasty. It is probably the update to kdenetwork which hosed you. I took a look at the package. It contains kppp, but does not contain any configuration files which might have overwritten your own. So maybe it is a bug in the new package. You might like to try going back to the old kdenetwork by CD ing to the directory on the Cd where it lives, and typing rpm -Uvh --oldpackage kdenetwork blah blah You might also have to use --nodep It should be OK this RPM being a different version to the others. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net
