I got rid of the ifconfig_tun0, and everything works fine. It seems like quite a few people had problems with this ifconfig_tun0 thing. Maybe there should be something in the handbook describing when it should (and should not) be used. Thanks, Rosty.

It looks like you are confusing the holy : Be-Jesus out of yourself. :> : 206.42.5.253----->206.42.5.253 ? I don't think this is valid for PPP. : However, if you leave the tun0 device undefined, PPP will auto-magcly : ifconfig it with the right address (obtained from your provider) : Paul Flores
