Any reason ? What you need is this in your ppp.conf: set ifaddr 196.7.124.231/24 196.7.0.135/24 add 0 255.255.255.0 HISADDR The /24 means that only the first 24 bits of the IP address specified are significant, ie your machine does not care so long as, in this case, the gateway address is between 196.7.0.1 and 196.7.0.255 Regards, Irvine Short http://www.pcm.co.za/homepage/ishort/irv_home.html Technical Support Professional Computer Manufacturers Cape Town, South Africa Tel: ++27-21-235084 Fax ++27-21-235089
