When users dialup, only about 1 out of 3 connections results in a 'stable' connection. For example, connecting with Trumpet Winsock, or MacPPP will show that it is connected, and the machine will show its proper IP number. However 2 out of 3 times, the connection doesn't work. Name service doesn't connect, you can't use IP numbers, its as if the connection came up long enough for the remote computers to receive their IP number, but then the connection has failed. I've gone over the ppp.sys, and the scripts that we use, and I can't find anything that seems wrong. I can provide more information, including the scripts, if anyone has any idea what is happening here... Randy -- Randall Roman rroman@accessnv.com
