If you would like to send me return mail direct showing your /etc/sysconfig I think that is where your problem will be. The rest of it is pretty straight forward. In the mean time you could check these: 1. Do not configure your tun0 device in the sysconfig file 2. Check that your not running linux emulation. (There is doc on this in the handbook but unless your looking at linux emulation you might miss it) The only reason I mention these is because they fowled me up ;-% Why did I want linux emulation anyways. _______________________________________ |\ /| | \ kevin_eliuk@sunshine.net / | | \ Kevin G.
