My problem is this if I start a PPP session on tty02 or tty03 I can call up my provider and make a connection. When I go back to tty01 I cant telnet or access any other network service. I keep getting no route to host messages. I have set up the /etc/resolv.conf file with the nameservers address. I cant add a gateway to the routing tables because even though I have a static IP the gateway is dynamic everytime. The previous install went without a hitch. I didnt have to setup any thing for ppp I just called up and it worked. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jeremy Harris
