I have scanned the newsgroups, but find = nothing=20 relating to this problem.

PPP seems to be ignoring the lowest = numbered and=20 highest numbered filters when the "set filter ..." commands are edited = into=20 ppp.conf

If I place the following commands in=20 ppp.conf:

set filter dial 0 deny = icmp

set filter dial 1 deny 0/0=20 198.168.0.0/16

set filter dial 6 permit 0/0=20 0/0

then do "show filter dial", either by = running ppp=20 in interactive mode or by connecting to a diagnostic port, I = get:

1 deny = 0.0.0.0/0=20 198.168.0.0/16

Just that one line! If I then (re)enter = the missing=20 filter commands interactively, the show command produces:

0 deny = 0.0.0.0/0=20 0.0.0.0/0 icmp

1 deny = 0.0.0.0/0=20 198.168.0.0/16

6 permit 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0

after which the filter seems to work as intended.

Any idea what gives?

Thanks,

Carl
