Hello,
Occasionally when I run ppp I get this message:
bash-2.05b$ ppp
Working in interactive mode
Using interface: tun0
Warning: Add route failed: 0.0.0.0/0 already exists
ppp ON potato>
and ifconfig shows:
bash-2.05b$ ifconfig -a
rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

When this happens ppp seems to run normally and connect to my ISP, but no
browsers or mail clients etc can see the network... I think this happens when
someone closes an xterm session without quitting ppp, but I'm not sure - in
any case, I've read the ifconfig man page and tried to sort it, but this
happens:
su-2.05b# ifconfig tun0 destroy
ifconfig: SIOCIFDESTROY: Invalid argument
Obviously I'm doing somthing wrong - what is it?
Thanks,
Ben
