[=] It's on it's way. Please remember that it does contain some rather sensitive information regarding several of our networks, and is therefore *NOT* for distribution. You may use it, but you may NOT pass it to anyone else, ok? I'm spining my wheel here trying to set up mine with an extra problem: Samba attempts to dial whenever the machine is started, and, probably, everytime it has some ns lookup. [=] SAMBA??? I wasnt aware that samba could do that! we use samba just for SMB services to our NT boxen... Afraid I cant help you there! To prevent this dialing, I have set porst udp/tcp 137-139 to ed1 only. It worked great, but, now, for some reason which I could't understand till now, calls from browsers, email clients, irc clients, are not causing ppp to dial; I found out that, if I allow port 53 - DNS - to be avaliable from any to any, I can make them work, but then Samba starts ppp dialing again. If you can send me your rule set, I will study it hard, to see if I can get some light on this. [=] It sounds like you are telling me that you do not use a local dns server. If that is the case, then here is what's going on: almost ALL inet services require active dns access, and initiate it pretty much before *anything* else. You are probably seeing the dial-outs to a name server (yes, even if it's for a local net!) TIA ! [=] My pleasure: call if you need any further help. J.A.
