I have ppp working fine, I have demand ppp working - if I ping the connection, it wakes up BUT, how do I trick the connection so that accesses to the nameserver or other non-connected nodes wake up the ppp service, when the gateway I get may be different than the initial one tried? I'm using slirp on netcom, so I get one of a large number of machines on the other end. This is how I work with my Mac - it's nice but I realized that maybe I can't do this with ijppp. Oh, I am also running routed as I can't get stuff working without it. Thanks, Mike Harding
