A ppp session running with -alias can connect to a local ISP and everything works great. When I dial into my machine in my office instead, everything works well, except netscape 4.03b8. (I've tried both the freebsd 4.03b8, and linux 4.03release.) I can telnet to the http servers and 'GET /'. I can ftp. The only things that happens is that Netscape hangs 'waiting for reply' and eventually says 'no data'. I downloaded chimera and it worked correctly. I'm running the PPP included with 2.2.2. I've tried the ftp.freebsd.org/~brian version however I get: Sep 23 12:37:45 bls2 ppp[4238]: Phase: Using interface: tun0 Sep 23 12:37:45 bls2 ppp[4238]: Phase: Listening at port 3000. Sep 23 12:37:46 bls2 ppp[4238]: Phase: PPP Started. Sep 23 12:37:46 bls2 ppp[4238]: Phase: Packet mode enabled Sep 23 12:37:46 bls2 ppp[4238]: Alert: Exception detected. Sep 23 12:37:46 bls2 ppp[4238]: Phase: PPP Terminated (done). The exact same config works with the 2.2.2 included user mode PPP. Any ideas what is going one? -- brian
