This sounds awfully familiar.
Go to /etc/sysconfig and look at the network file. It should have something
like this:
NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4=true
HOSTNAME=darkforce.com (yours would go here)
DOMAINNAME=com
GATEWAY=
GATEWAYDEV=ppp0
If your network file does not have this, edit it, then as root do a "service
network restart" and try kppp then.
Let us know what happens.
