Should this box be a "gateway", a "defaultrouter", and what > should the routed flag be? 1) Don't run routed. ppp will take care of it. "routedflags=NO" 2) Don't run as a gateway. (unless other machines will be going through you, and that is a different set of problems that I don't know about. ;) "gateway=NO" 3) Don't set defaultrouter. "defaultrouter=NO" I think. Should work OK then. Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
