I took all natd related stuff from my kernel and recompiled. Now I start ppp using the command "ppp -background -alias isp" without using natd at all. This machine is used as a gateway for other computers on my lan. After changing all of this, following the directions i received exactly, I am still having the same "freezing" problem. Once again, there doesnt seem to be any particular reason that causes it to freeze. Here is the output from "netstat -r" after I connect successfully: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif default speedbump2.i2k.com UGSc 5 5 tun0 10/24 link#1 UC 0 0 ed1 localhost localhost UH 0 0 lo0 speedbump2.i2k.com sb20-114.i2k.com UH 5 0 tun0 Once the "freeze" happens I can do a netstat -r and only receive the first line of this (Destination, Gateway, Flags, Refs, Use, Netif) and I must ctrl+c to get back to a prompt. Perhaps my problem is in my routing tables? In ppp.conf I use these commands to setup my routes (taken directly from the handbook): set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 add default HISADDR Any help would be greatly appreciated on this frustrating problem.
