I'm able to get the peer connection as indicated by the capitalized PPP in the prompt. I then do a show ipcp and am advised: My address: 10.0.1.2/0 His address: 0.0.0.0/0 I'm assuming that these IP addresses have something to do with dynamic IP addressing or something like that. Anyway, at this point I do: add 0 0 0.0.0.0 More because that's what the instructions say than anything else. It doesn't work. I'm not able to ping other sites on the net, etc. Could someone please tell me what I should be doing when I get to the add step. TIA for any input ... doug _____________________________________________________________________ Doug Jolley mailto://doug@bigwheel.net http://www.bigwheel.net Don't bogart that file, my friend.
