Sounds like a dodgy kernel build :-/ >From the ppp prompt, you can ``! echo hisaddr'' to see what HISADDR is set to, and you can ``show route'' to see what's there. If ``add 0 0 hisaddr'' doesn't change the routing table and there's no default already, you could try ``! route add default hisaddr''. If that works, something's mis-built. If not, something more serious is mis-built :-P -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
