Code 5 is invalid.... the ppp that shipped before 3.0 wouldn't have recognised the CBCP packet at all, hence no error (or maybe a protocol reject). I wouldn't worry about it - unless you want to ask your ISP what ppp implementation they're running. > Hi, > > I'm almost positive this is not the correct mailing list for this > question, so if it isn't will someone kindly point me in the right > direction.
