I thought of that but I _do_ want DNS requests to trigger a dial out because I run a proxy on that same machine though which users on the LAN can access the internet. I saw that one in the samples about packet filtering in ppp but I really don't see what the point is. Surely if you don't want this to happen you simply don't run a DNS server. I really don't understand this one about filtering out DNS requests .... anyway may be it has its uses ----- Original Message ----- From: "Trevor S.
