Obviously, I don't have one, since I have a dynamic IP. Also, the > line I have in my /etc/syconfig is: > [stuff deleted] > add 0 0 > > What am I doing wrong? I can dial into my isp and establish a connection, Login manually and after being connected type: show ipcp this will list 2 addresses, yours and the gateway... as far as i can tell the gateway usually ends in a 255. The problem is that your add statement needs to have the gateway lasted or the connection doesn't know who to communicate with the outside world. e.g. my add statement looks like this: add 0 0 128.205.222.255 of course you need to add the IP of _YOUR_ gateway. -Christopher Michaels Student Consultant:645-3542 *************************************************************************** * E-Mail: cjm2@acsu.buffalo.edu * * Homepage: http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~cjm2 * ***************************************************************************
