I'm still having the same problem I posted a few weeks ago.  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!
