I think you'll need to tack CFLAGS+=-g STRIP= to the end of the Makefile and get a trace :-/ The IPCP error is the result of the peer sending an IP packet before authentication is complete (a ``set log physical debug'' may be interesting here). The same log level may also tell us more about the nat_LayerPull(). I suspect the core dump may be nothing to do with these warnings though.... > -- > Ben Smithurst | PGP: 0x99392F7D > ben@scientia.demon.co.uk | key available from keyservers and > | ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
