With 2.2.6, you probably need ``add 0 0 HISADDR'' in ppp.linkup as well as ppp.conf. If you're using -auto mode and you're not changing your IP number, it shouldn't be necessary to do any ``add 0 0 HISADDR''s after the initial ppp.conf one - unless you're doing a ``delete all'' somewhere. In the latest ppp, you need only ever ``add 0 0 hisaddr'' once - after that, it ``stick''s and gets re-run after every interface IP number change :-) You can get that version on http://www.Awfulhak.org/ppp.html One other thing of note, ``add! 0 0 hisaddr'' will add the route, overwriting any existing route. Also, ``add default hisaddr'' and ``add 0 0 hisaddr'' are synonymous. > hello, > > Im sorry to pester any of you but I would like to ask a quick > question. > I have freeBSD 2.2.6 on a dial out gateway using IP aliasing ( A > DREAM!!!!!).
