I've got an interesting problem. My pppd started with demand option and sometimes it brings up phone line with no network activity. I'm tried to recognize this but I can't do it with tcpdump - open connection longs too small amount of time. My modem keeps connection alive for 3 minutes (idle 180) and this is not good. I suppose this happens because of DNS updates. I'm trying to start pppd with option: active-filter 'not (src port 53)' to disable dns demand dialing, but starting pppd causing error message: pppd[2073]: Couldn't set active-filter in kernel: Inappropriate ioctl for device What does it mean? How can i set pppd active-filter? Thanks! -- Alexander S.
