Do us this favor: 1. Connect to the isp. 2. add 0 0 203.3.126.1 3. verify you can't access anything on the internet. 4. paste the output of 'netstat -rn' in an e-mail message. 5. What is the exact output of traceroute? When does it give you the 'host unreachable'. 6. Also, what is the output of ifconfig -a -Chris P.S. I'll do the best to remember to e-mail you my ppp.conf file. I was rather occupied last night. My neighborhood (and only my neighborhood) had a flash flood yesterday. REAL weird if you ask me, but it was rather time consuming cleaning up. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
