In most of cases, it works fine. Sometimes, especially when clients disconnect and connect frequently in a short time, problems came up. After the tunnel is up, server and the client can't ping each other. On the server side, the ppp interface is up and the routing table is right. One the other side, the client gets the IP assigned by the server, and aslo gets a ppp tunnel. It seems nothing wrong. If I reboot the server box, when the client connects again, it works fine again. So I am afraid the assigned IP or something else "held" by the server in that moment. But how can I release these things when this happens, rebooting the server is not a good idea at all. Any help or hint will be appreciated. Thanks. Jack To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
