[-- Attachment #1 --] I have a two machines on a LAN, one Win98 and the other FreeBSD 3.0 I have the BSD box set up as the gateway to my ISP and PPP set to -auto This all works fine (PPP dials out and the connection works fine on both machines.) My problem is this: Windows 98 generates packets all the time which makes the BSD box dial out and stay online forever. (I only have one phone line.) I know it's not the BSD box, because when the Win machine isn't connected, the connection is made only when I request it. (After I killed sendmail -q ;-) I realize that this is a Windoze problem, but I am hoping that someone out there has discovered a solution to this. Thanks Brantley Hobbs geekopus@negia.net [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META content=text/html;charset=iso-8859-1 http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content='"MSHTML 4.72.3110.7"' name=GENERATOR> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I have a two machines on a LAN, one Win98 and the other FreeBSD 3.0</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I have the BSD box set up as the gateway to my ISP and PPP set to -auto</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>This all works fine (PPP dials out and the connection works fine on both machines.)</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>My problem is this: Windows 98 generates packets all the time which makes the BSD box dial out and stay online forever.
