I'm using it because it works with the scripts i have set up. My ISP uses a different kind of authentication. AFter connecting with ppp, i hit return and login manually. What do i do after that to start things? Usually i just wait, but the connection doesn't work after than. Hostname reoslution. I think it's the nameservers. I've heard some ISP's don't let you leech off their nameservers if you didn't dial in to them. Is there an easy way to switch between nameservers for different ISP's? I remember seeing something about delete ALL, enable dns, stuff like that. Am i on the right track? jcm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
