I can ping sites on the Internet : and start to use a WEB browser, however, after several minutes the : machine drops the route to the PPP client. routed is dropping the route because it can't hear any RIP broadcasts from the other end of your link on the assumption that no RIP means a dead route. You should be able to tell routed that the route is "passive" (i.e. expect no RIP from the interface) by adding the relevant lines to /etc/gateways. Personally however, I've never managed to make routed function as I wanted in a network with any reasonable number of subnets .. gated (in the /usr/ports collection) is what I use in a mixed RIP-1/RIP-2 environment, michael
