What sort of setup do you have ? Do you have a static IP that hasn't got a loopback route (I add an alias on lo0 myself) ? The only thing I ``suspect'' is that X is reading the routing socket and notices that ``picnic.mat.net'' has been removed - despite this not being the only such route, X decides things are broke. Unfortunately, I don't run ppp on the same machine that I run X on any more, so I haven't seen any such problems. I've heard of these sort of problems before, but not from anyone coherent enough to say more than "ppp locks X up". Ppp isn't doing anything new in this area ..... > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- > Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data > chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. > 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | > Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD > (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
