This means traffic directed to the local end of a ppp link doesn't get routed. I think that this should be treated just like other interfaces in the system, like ethernet interfaces, where just such a direct route gets added when the interface is brought up. The following route command works, but it doesn't get me exactly the same kind of route that the ethernet interfaces get. Should I do this differently? route -n add -host -interface localsideaddress 127.0.0.1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Withrow, Tel: +1 617 592 8935, Net: witr@rwwa.COM
