Hi!

I have setup a dynamic ppp for my win95 users and
now i am experiencing a very strange problem.

A delay occurs in certain conditions:
1) After a user just connects to the server using
    windows95 dial-up capabilities ansd starts pppd

2) If the user stops working for some time (3-5 minutes).

A delay is from 1 to 3 minutes long and, no need to say, 
is very annoying. During this dalay it is not possible to 
connect anywhere, including my server, even though
the name is taken from hosts (since the channel
to DNS can be too busy to answer a dns query). It is
not even possible to get pop mail. It seems that the
problem is somewhere is rounting, but i just cannot 
figure it out. Please, share you thoughts with me, i
just ran out of ideas.

Before i got real ip addresses, i used the addresses
from 192.168.*.* (officially allowed for internal networks)
and there was no such problem then.

Here is my setup for kernel pppd:

# options
crtscts
modem
defaultroute
-detach   

# also tried adding and deleting in all combinations: proxyarp, debug,
domain norilsk.ru

# options.ttyd2
# pretty much the same for all ttyd's
193.124.250.50:194.135.38.2      

Also, my host.conf is a little bit no stardard:

#host.conf
# since the gateway connection is very slow, i need to put hosts first,
since the DSN can die any monute
hosts
bind


Thank you
