This sounds awfully familiar.
Go to /etc/sysconfig and look at the network file. It should have something like this:
NETWORKING=yes FORWARD_IPV4=true HOSTNAME=darkforce.com (yours would go here) DOMAINNAME=com GATEWAY= GATEWAYDEV=ppp0
If your network file does not have this, edit it, then as root do a "service network restart" and try kppp then.
Let us know what happens.
Ron I'm sure you just hit the nail on the head! I take back my earlier advice, got a bit mixed up and forgot the correct file to edit. Don't know how I could forget since its the first thing I do after a clean install.
Bet Ron's advice above fixes the problem. It is a bug in MDK9.1 where the gateway is incorrect for dialup modems and it is necessary to add the "GATEWAYDEV=ppp0".
And Anarky, don't forget to restart the network after editing this file:
# service network restart
