Date: 30 Dec 96 09:45:20 +0000 I have also had this problem with the PPP connection on my -stable box. When the ppp connection (ppp0 if it helps) drops, it cannot always be brought back up. I will always manage to dial up and reconnect, but I sometimes get the "cant allocate llinfo" message when trying to make use of the connection. When this happend, no traffic will pass. (The connection seems up, pppstat reports no errors, but every attempt to use the connection gives the error...) Exact error messages are: Dec 27 18:09:25 fozzy pppd[7113]: ioctl(SIOCAIFADDR): Address already exists Dec 27 18:09:25 fozzy /kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for 204.188.115.1 This is the only ppp connection on this system. It's ppp interface is ppp0, the ethernet is ed0. Let me know if you need any additional information. Thanks. ------------------------ Michael Newlyn Blake mblake@frogtown.com
