I was in the middle of writing a response when i decided to check it out. The problem is that the first few, 2 - 3 connections works allright then if there is no traffic on the line for some time you get "hostname name lookup failure". The default route does'nt change in the netstat data and routed does'nt log additional data. But if you then add the default route by hand everything starts working as it should again. Regards Thomas
