Set your machine as 127.0.0.1 (localhost): 127.0.0.1 myname myname.my.domain (for example) > The set ifaddr 0 0 allows my machine to have it's ip number allocated by > the isp machine.

Ppp configures the tun device all by itself. > The problem occurs after I have made a successful connection, I can't > ping my isp's machine. > If I type netstat -r, netstat just hangs, the routing information is You need to put "add 0 0 HISADDR" in your ppp.linkup file. This adds a default route, which is why you can't ping your ISP. Lee C. BTW: I know my hostname is bogus; this is because I'm on dynamic IP too :)
