It still works, but it's a rather aggravating delay period. Take a look at: netstat -rn /etc/resolv.conf Perhaps there is something set there (or isn't) that is delaying the lookup. Maybe you're forgetting to define a default route when you go on via pppd but are when using ppp. Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
