I Can't say too much (actually anything) about the log, but here is how I would do it- On the non-PPP hosts on the LAN, use the "defaultrouter" entry to point to the PPP machine. DO NOT RUN ROUTED on these machines!!! On the PPP machine, simply have it install a default route to the outside world when the link comes up. Again, DO NOT RUN ROUTED!!! It's as simple as that. Unless you have MULTIPLE pathways off your LAN to outside networks, there is ABSOLUTELY NO reason to run a routing daemon. Static routes perform the job quite nicely without all the hassle... Tony
