If they're windows boxen, they seem to be unbelivably sloppy with the sheer amount of useless information that tries to get out of your default gateway. I'd suggest adding "TCP/IP" to your "set log" line, assuming ppp has been setup in /etc/syslogd.conf then the src IP:port, and dst IP:port data are all logged in /var/log/ppp.log. Once you've found out what's causing the dialup, you'll need to read up on ppp's access filters, where you can specify what packets are allowed to trigger a dial, what won't trigger a dialup ... what packets can keep the connection alive, etc etc. It takes some time to get a filter list personalised for your home lan, you've just got to look at what you want things to dial. The biggest dialup trigger is probably DNS requests though. -flec To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
