I've got this very weird problem. I'm using pppd, chat, et al to connect to a PPP account I have, which allocates a dynamic IP address(I'm used to static ones, so..). Well, the problem I'm having is whenever I try to connect to various FreeBSD boxes. For example: partek:~> telnet soho.ios.com Trying 198.4.75.47... Connected to soho.ios.com. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host Does the same for any other tcp based connection(i.e. SMTP, POP3, HTTP) Same for a few other FreeBSD boxes, even ones on different networks. Yet ones like www.cdrom.com and www.freebsd.org work just fine.. The even weirder thing is, I can connect to BSDI, Solaris, OSF/1, etc systems with absolutely no problem at all. I'm relatively sure it's not the ppp setup because I had no problems before when I was using a different ISP, only difference then was that I had a static IP. (All I changed in my config was the phone number!) I'm not on the list, so a direct email reply would be helpful, thanks :) TIA, Dave
