Ah. That's not the source code. There's only one source code, but there's different -devel packages, which contain headers prepared for the particular built kernel. > I am using the Cisco VPN Client.

This also blocks any local traffic. Right, that is one of several problems with the Cisco binary client. I highly encourage you to try vpnc instead -- it is included with Fedora (part of Fedora Extras -- just 'yum install vpnc' and perhaps 'yum install NetworkManager-vpnc'). You'll not need to compile anything, nor taint your kernel, and it works very well. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>
