My host.conf has the hosts first, and then bind. Another thing is what should the correct entries be in my ppp.conf (re ifaddr and add route) and my sysconfig (re: ifconfig_tun0, static_routes and route_multicast) ? Basically, what I am looking for is this : someone who has gotten (with just standard stuff that ships with 2.1r) FreeBSD to dial into their ISP when they need to (eg. telnet somewhere or check mail) and have the routing, etc working fine. I think I have gotten it working fine, but don't know if maybe I'm doing something patently stupid. I am ordering the FreeBSD handbook from Walnut Creek; maybe that will answer some questions. --- Khetan Gajjar Visit at http://www.iafrica.com/~khetan/ Pipex-Internet Africa Operations help@iafrica.com or 0800-030-002
