Ho hum I'm having problems with ppp under 2.2.1 My situation is as follows:
I had ppp running fine under 2.0 - I upgraded to 2.2.1 and now I can't
get ppp to work. I saved /etc/ and /etc/ppp before I upgraded and restored 
/etc/ppp so ppp.conf and ppp.linkup are setup correctly. I also checked/updated 
[host.conf (for hosts,bind), resolv.conf and /etc/hosts]. I have a /dev/tun0
(I assume it is correct) and I am using the kernel that the boot floppy 
installed (I turned off most of the isa cards - maybe I turned off something
else I wasn't suppose to? or misconfigured one of the /etc files). 
(i have 2.0's /etc  on disk and the rest of 2.0 on tape)

Anyways ping and traceroute fail to leave the local machine - i guess
something could be wrong in one of the config files or in sysconfig
(named is set to no but i keep thinking one of the if_networks is relevant to
my problem). I don't know what to look for with netstat or show route
(under ppp) to find the problem.

I am using/have been assigned static ip. I would paste the exact logs
(show log under ppp) but er I can't get ppp to work to upload them.
Anyways the connection gets established, my addr is correct and hisaddr
is correct.

I keep thinking there is something with regards to networks I need to
turn on but the last time I did this (under 2.0) was 2 years ago.

Any suggestions ?

thanks,
