Briefly, on a fresh reboot, I can't start X (socket connection failures) until I run PPP and connect to my ISP. Once I've done this, I can then quit X (and PPP) and restart X, so long as I don't reboot. It seems there's something wrong with my TCP that running PPP and connecting to my ISP somehow fixes. Must be in one of my /etc files, but I can't figure it out. If anyone wants me to post the files they think might be relevant, let me know. I'd *really* like to get to the bottom of this, once and for all. Thanks! -- Conrad Sabatier | conrads@neosoft.com | Eschew obfuscation. http://www.neosoft.com/~conrads |
