I've done everything it says in the handbook, and the man pages to get it to work. I have tried the suggestions in this newsgroup (removing the config line for tun0, adding a default route with 'add 0 0') and nothing works. I have tried playing with and disabling various daemons and disabling TCP extensions and nothing works. Here's what happens I dial into my ISP, and log in normally. User ppp switches to packet mode, and a few moments later gives me a "PPP ON>" prompt, note that the PPP is in capital letters. I then type the shell command and try various network utilities, and none of them work. Telnet won't talk to the nameserver, and it times out when I give it a straight IP address. Ping will send packages but it doesn't recieve any. I tried 'netstat -r' but it hangs before it shows me any information. I should also state that I can use PPP under Windows 95 just fine, it doesn't seem to be a problem with the other side of the connection. Can anyone help me? I'd really appreciate it (and so would my keyboard, I've been thumping it awfully hard lately). Dusty Reichwein reichwej@ucs.orst.edu
