I had turned on the debug option in the PPP setup and I got following message. "SIOCAIFADDR file exists" This file some how gets created after improper termination by user on the dial in lines. After the creation of this file I see the problem discribed below. I tried to locate this file on the system and I could not find it. Can somebody help me on this? What is going on?
