I'm having a bit o' trouble with ppp, thought maybe I could describe my situation to you and you might be able to help? Here goes: Ok, I'm running UserPPP on FreeBSD 2.1. At the bottom of ppp.conf, I have this: set ifaddr 0 x.x.x.x Where "x.x.x.x" is the address of the default gateway on the ISP side. So whenever I dial in, it negotiates a PPP connection successfully, but then HANGS UP. So, I thought, maybe it assigns the gateway address dynamically, and I should set it to 0. So I changed it to this: set ifaddr 0 0 And it worked! No more hanging up on me after I connect. Except now I can't use ppp -auto. When I do "ppp -auto XXXX" (where XXXX is the name of the label in my ppp.conf script), it runs long enough to tell me that the "-auto" option does not work when i have a dynamically assigned gateway address. Why is this? Is there any way around this? Thanx in advance, Chris Odom
