Well, for a wild shot-in-the-dark, you could try adding a third and forth argument to your ``set ifaddr'' line - both ``0'': set ifaddr x.x.x.x y.y.y.y 0 0 If this doesn't work, check out http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ/userppp.html. It'll give you a feel for what to do to trouble-shoot. Enabling LCP and IPCP logging should identify where things are going wrong. > Thanks in advance. > > -- Neal Tillery > -- cs1250dm@classes.csc.lsu.edu -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
