I have gotten as far as being able to manually dial and get ppp started (as evidenced by the PPP prompt). The provider usesdynamic IP assignmnet. I can do a show log and get my IP address that has been assigned. Now the problem. I can ping that address, but no others that I should bea able to. For instance hsi nameserver. I believe that this is probably an issue of how my rotuiing table are set up. The ISP thinks that I should do a "ADD 0 0 HISADDR" at the PPP prompt. This os probably correct, but there must be more to it than that. What other things do I need to do to set up the correct routing ? Yes I have read the PPP man page, and the section in the Handbook on this. Als is there any way that I can watch the PPP chat script runing in oreder to debug my login chat script ? Thanks in advance. -- Stan Brown stanb@netcom.com 404-996-6955 Factory Automation Systems Atlanta Ga. -- Look, look, see Windows 95. Buy, lemmings, buy! Pay no attention to that cliff ahead...
