I connect via PPPoE to the net using "ppp -nat -ddial MYISP" and everything's all good. In my ppp.linkup file I first kill any running socks5 daemons and then run socks5 as a normal user, so that when I irc, I get that userid as the ident response. ICQ from my winbox also runs fine. Once in a while, I get disconnected from MYISP. ppp reconnects nicely, the socks5 daemon is restarted and everything goes on as it should....almost. While I can do almost anything (www, mail, news, etc), it appears that anything related to the socks5 daemon doesn't work. IRC and ICQ from my winbox won't work. The programs will just continuously try to connect to the server with no avail. With IRC I can connect to servers, which don't require an ident response. Normally I can when everything is running fine. Here's the strange part: If I manually kill and restart ppp, everything works fine again! Something about reconnecting in ppp and the socks5 daemon just don't mix and I can't figure out what. If anyone can shed any light on this I'd be grateful. Thanks, - Will Here's some extra info: some extra options in ppp.conf that I used: nat same_ports yes nat use_sockets yes nat unregistered_only yes socks5.conf auth 192.168.0. - - # permit auth cmd src-host dest-host src-port dst-port permit - - 192.168.0. - - - deny - - - - - - - # interface hostpattern portpattern interfaceaddress interface 192.168.0. - ed2 interface - - tun0 # extra arguments set SOCKS5_NOREVERSEMAP set SOCKS5_NOSERVICENAME set SOCKS5_NOIDENT set SOCKS5_V4SUPPORT [ SOCKS5_NOIDENT Omit ident requests.
