After doing "signal-event post-upgrade" you must also do "signal-event reboot". That won't fix your missing updates, however.

I have followed the process of doing each of the steps via putty & ssh & restarted the server at each instance but it still states 7.2 not 7.3? It started as a 7.2.0 from CD as of end of last year...

I have managed to do something right I think as there are now some kmods showing:

[root@iserver ~]# rpm -qa kmod*
kmod-appletalk-1.0-2.2.6.9_55.0.6.EL
kmod-ppp-smp-1.0.2-2.2.6.9_55.0.6.EL
kmod-appletalk-smp-1.0-2.2.6.9_55.0.6.EL
kmod-slip-1.0-2.2.6.9_55.0.6.EL
kmod-ppp-1.0.2-2.2.6.9_55.0.6.EL
kmod-slip-smp-1.0-2.2.6.9_55.0.6.EL
[root@iserver ~]#

I am assuming that one of the two ppp lines means I now have what I need for pptp?

What happens when you run:

yum clean all
yum update

I have been trying to get that to work properly for the last few days...
It goes through the process of "updating" but does not actually manage to do so???
I also tried an update via the GUI & software installer so I could write down the packages it was trying to update. I noticed that each time I have tried to update it is trying to install the same packages but they do not actually install, so get noted as ones to install again after re-configuration.
The same is happening with ClamAV, I found some information that states that the router I have (Alcatel/Thomson speedtouch 510) can not process txt dns records & I would need to re-compile the package with the flag—enable-dns-fix. Although I have no idea how to manage this task would the same be true for the yum update package?
