When I try to add the interface into the sysconfig for the ethernet card (ed1) the ppp dialer (iijpp) takes a few minutes to open instead of it happening quickly. I try the ppp -alias and it says packet forwarding is enabled but it doesn't seem to happen. What I have tried, configureing ed1 with the same IP address as the tun0 ipaddress not configureing ed1 at all configureing ed1 with a second valid IP address I have to be missing something but this is my first time trying this so I won't beat myself up to much. my IP address that is assigned to me by my ISP every time I dialin is 156.46.127.51 the machine I dialin to's IP address is 156.46.127.1 any help would be appreciated, and remember I'm new at this so you may have to spell it out for me. thanks Chad
