With boxes A and B as you mentioned; Create a ppp interface manually on B using IP's like 10.1.1.1 -> 10.1.1.2. Then setup a route on A to get to 10.1.1.2 via B's ethernet IP address. If you now do a traceroute to 10.1.1.2 on A, it succeeds using B's IP as a gateway. Now delete the ppp interface on B, and try the traceroute again, you'll notice that it now uses B's default gateway. Create the ppp interface on B the same as before, and do the traceroute on A again, you'll find that it will still use the default gateway, even though the route to 10.1.1.2 via 10.1.1.1 was setup by adding the ppp interface. This looks similar to your problem, could be a bug? Arnie __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.
