I then tried ppp -auto provider. The first problem was that ppp said it needed a dstaddr. I went to the manual page for ppp and in my ppp.conf file changed iffaddr to ifaddr 0 address/0. if I start ppp as root and place it in background my users can get everywhere but when I use ppp -auto provider, my users can't go beyond my service provider's domain. What did I do incorrectly? Thanks, Vlad Markov
