I am still having the user ppp problems. Here is a descripton of the problem: dial in. everything works fine. disconnect. dial in again and I get the equivalent of the following: /kernel: rtinit: wrong ifa (some number) Now, this might be associated with the same problem. My provider allocates IPs dynamically. What kind of a line should I put in my /etc/hosts file?? I say this because the sysconfig line for ifconfig references the hostname in hosts. If the wrong IP is given in hosts, how can tun0 be configured correctly? So, what it comes down to is this. How can tun0 be properly configured on startup if I give it a bogus IP which will be different from my Provider's allocated IP? I have tried aliasing my hostname to localhost. That doesn't solve any problems. I have tried giving my hostname a bogus IP or an IP of all 0s in hosts. That doesn't solve any problems. Anyone have a working dynamic IP user PPP configuration? Could you send me your /etc/hosts, /etc/sysconfig, and ppp configuration files? Of course this is all on a 2.1.0-RELEASE system. And, of course, I have searched and read the archives. Unfortunately, it seems that the majority of problems with user ppp are related to static IP allocation. Other than this minor problem, I am extremely happy with my box. Thanks.
