Ryan, I had the same problem recently and was told it was a simple fix. Then, when I saw it, felt like a right idiot. In the KPP options, there is a setting that says "configure IP from this machine's hostname" or something like that. It should not be ticked. When mine was ticked, I had exactly the same problem. Make sure also that your machine has it's own IP/domain/hostname and a default route is set correctly. Regards.

I have set up kppp to use a 56k modem on cua3 to dial my isp and primarily use netscape. For some reason after I connect, I cannot open any programs at all, but all programs that were open before work just as they should. Does anyone know why? Thank you Ryan file://:>)
