I do not have RHEL here but my Fedora Core1 was the first one I have not needed to run this on, all my RH instals needed it to kick the (already detected) sound card into gear. I imagine the cddb is another issue. Have a look in the settings/config for the player to confirm a valid site and also check your firewall is not blocking access (that would be outbound, so a stock install should not block it) Hope that helps. -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
