patl@asimov.volant.org stands accused of writing in message ID <9510171526.AA17317@asimov.volant.org>: >Can I set the netmask in the ppp.conf or ppp.linkup file? If so, how? >If not, what is the right way/place to set a netmask for a tun device >used as a full-time link? As an occasional link? If (like me) you are using dial-on-demand, the netmask is set (AFAIK) by the mask used in the ``add 0 <mask> <router>'' statement. e.g. I have: add 0 255.255.0.0 158.152.1.194 as my ISP runs a Class B network and I use 158.152.1.194 as my default router... (I have a single IP allocated by my ISP, so I don't have to worry a lot about subnetting. My ether is on a private IP range) Gary
