WEll, I should have known the answer - since it's staring me right in the
face. For some reason my hostname was not added to the hosts file for
both IP addresses. I have one for my ehternet card and one for the
loopback and I guess kppp thought I was the one I hadn't added. So
I added the other and viola! Also, as for my apps not working, I had the
ppp connection set (through kppp of course) to set my hostname based on my
ip address on connection. This caused none of my apps to connect to my X
server. Well I guess I learned a bit. Hope I didn't waste EVERYbodies
time :)
