If it is and you have anything other than the 127.0.0.1 address for localhost in /etc/hosts, user ppp will not negotiate the dynamic address (at least this is what happens on my box). Use netstat -i to determine your links once the ppp link is up and report results. -- Tom Jackson I'm ProChoice->FreeBSD toj@gorilla.net http://www.freebsd.org tjackson@tulsix.utulsa.edu "Out in the Ozone Again"
