I mentioned that I stuffed my firewall settings a couple of days ago. I installed firestarter in the mistaken belief that it might help me understand what is going on. What happens now is that wheb I start up, the computer doesn't recognise the ppp0 interface. Yet, I have opened kppp and used evolution successfully. Now I don't want to install another firewall utility which may conflict with firestarter (even more!). So, how do I get rid of it? Or do you know of it and can help me to set it up properly? (I can imagine you tearing your hair out in despair!) results from this: # rpm -qa | grep samba samba-client-3.0.0-15 samba-common-3.0.0-15 samba-3.0.0-15 redhat-config-samba-1.1.4-1 I tried this and it said I needed some public GPG (PGP?) keys. What does this mean? I did not get fedora from an official package and maybe I should not be accessing official sites for packages. What do you suggest? I notice another thread where someone uses yum and offer a yum.conf file to drop in the correct directory. Would that be more appropriate? or maybe I need to change the repository to another one now before I downlaod swat? What's the ettyket for leaving out bits?

Is this also related to Samba? Is it a service I need? Do I need DNS? Surely I can gat away with not having it? I really appreciate the effort that this takes, to help me. Shelagh
