Dear all, Running Stable, so to speak :-), I use ppp -auto to connect my ISP. The machine is also connected to a Lan. The nodes on such lan have no direct routes to the internet, but can reach the Freebsd box to fulfill various operations, WWW, ftp, etc, or use it as a proxy. Sometimes it happens the modem is left off by accident or other reasons (can't grab the line). When this happens, in the event that someone on the lan does an rlogin, telnet, ftp, whatever *except ping*, to the Freebsd machine, then he has to wait exactly 75 seconds before the network operation can be thoroughly achieved. As an exception, the ping always works promptly. No doubt that 75 seconds is not a funny number, but a well defined value, possibly related with a redial timeout or so. Can somebody tell which value is that, and which way to follow to circumvent the undesired behavior? Thanks for any suggestion. Marco
