Ok a frend of mine got it working again.. but only if we reboot 
the machine each time.. its strange.. it only works one time.. and 
then I have to reboot the machine.. my frend even added a script to
kill the routing table so ppp could add in the routes again.. but
although that seemded to work the first time it does not now...

If I reboot the machine it works once.. just fine.. all day untill 
I disconnect

any ideas??

thanks in advance..:)
