Some other details are... a)It possibly doesn't matter but it is a Kingstone NIC with a DEC chipset. b) With pppij set to ppp -auto ISP -auto I wasn't able to ping out or even localhost. (althoughping localhost initiated the dial) c) I did notice in the light grey booting section that it said... can't fiind tun0, lo0,de0 d) The netcard is not currently connected to my LAN Any ideas..
