I'm using RH 6.1.  I have two machines networked together (will be adding
more later).  

In kde I can open applications just fine except after starting ppp to
connect to my ISP.  After this connection is up and running, however, I
can't open any applications in kde.

Another strangeness is that after ppp is started, my hostname is changed
to that of the remote ppp interface.  

Here's my routing table before ppp is initiated:

$ netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt
Iface
192.168.1.100   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH        0 0          0
eth0
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0
eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U         0 0          0
lo


Here's my routing table after ppp is started:

$ netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt
Iface
207.166.192.23  0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH        0 0          0
ppp0
192.168.1.100   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH        0 0          0
eth0
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0
eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U         0 0          0
lo
0.0.0.0         207.166.192.23  0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0
ppp0

(Sorry if my MUA's wordwrap feature screws up tables' appearance.)

I'm guessing that the reason my applications won't open is because X can't
find the local display.  (Just changing the hostname back to its correct
name doesn't fix the problem.)  

There may be more than one problem here.  Let me know what config files,
if any, you might need for further diagnosis.


Thanks in advance,
kf
