I'm using version 2.1 of the operating system. I followed the instructions given in section 11 of the handbook, read manpages on ppp, route, routed and ifconfig and still can't get the interface to operated. For starters my ISP doesn't use a login prompt for starting ppp. According to him all I should have to do is pass my username and password using pap and I should then be connected. Of course this doesn't work, by setting my authname and authkey. Also after about 3 minutes or so I get message stating "route[49]: deleting route to to interface tun0 (timed out)". As the system is coming up it shows the tun0 interface as 'tun0: flags=8051'. I was also reading thru an O'Reilly book, tcp/ip network admin, I thought not having a default gateway using the tun0 was my problem, but route will not allow me to create one. Ok.... is there anything obvious i'm doing wrong, and how can i stop route from timing out tun0. thanks.... -- =====================-----------=====================---------================ Joe Campbell jcampb@cixs.org ====================------------=====================---------================
