The connection is set up? What are you using? NFS? Ok I hope you got my last mail to the list in which I explained how I upgraded to 4.8-STABLE :) Essentially I connected from the production server to the dev server via serial connex (minicom) and upgraded that way. I have a feeling the process of updating the source might have been flawed and also I have a sneaking suspicion that I left out IPFW2 from make.conf at the time. (IPFW2 was is currently the main problem which we want to be using for traffic shaping and prioritizing). Many thanks for your response and your PPP script - much obliged :) Kind regards, Jez
