Not in FreeBSD (unless timeout is set to a non-zero number), but most isp's will drop an inactive connection. If you still belive it is relative to the timeout setting, set it to some obnoxious number, like um.. 3600 (1hr). I'm willing to bet it won't make a difference. As for ppp.log not providing enough information. That can be changed, there are a number of things that ppp can be set to log, unfortunately I don't remember the exact log setting you are looking for to track down the cause of your problem. Hopefully someone else will chime in on this one. On a side note, you don't need to use natd or -alias if you have registered ip addresses. Those are for networks with unregistered addresses. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Young [SMTP:young@richardson.apana.org.au] > Sent: Monday, August 30, 1999 6:54 PM > To: Christopher Michaels > Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: Unable to connect via ppp (was: Modem Issues) > > Maybe the following get to the root of my present problem ....
