Apparently, my ISP started using a MTU of 1006 where previous the default of 1500 worked fine. I added a 'set mtu 1006' in my ppp.conf file. Chris, if you're still having problems, find out what your MTU should be. Hope this helps... -- Rich ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rich Neswold | PGP: 0A C8 A5 76 DF 8E E1 B3 rneswold@mcs.net | F3 97 BE 73 DA CD 4B C9 http://www.mcs.net/~rneswold | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
