When I dial in, a connection is made >but then there is a delay of maybe 2 minutes before Any "mysterious network delays of about two minutes" are highly likely to be DNS problems. Check /etc/resolv.conf. To start diagnosing the problem ping the other end of your ppp connection, by IP (the one shown after "-->" in the output from "ifconfig tun0", if you are running ppp(8)) If that fails, then something is wrong with your ppp connection - post logs. Also check that "netstat -rn" lists your PPP peer as default gateway. If that works, try pinging someting else by IP, e.g. www.freebsd.org (216.136.204.21). If that works too, then it is definitely a DNS problem. $.02, /Mikko -- Mikko Työläjärvi_______________________________________mikko@rsasecurity.com RSA Security To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
