Sounds like you've got `defaultrouter' set in /etc/rc.conf.... and maybe no "delete ALL" before "add 0 0 HISADDR" in ppp.conf (assuming the `defaultrouter' is set to the dst address of the tun device). Emptying the defaultrouter assignment should sort things out :-) The warnings used to be supressed. > TIA > > John > -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
