When you isue the "delete all" command, you are making sure that no weird routes are going to be used to your ppp connection, and when you are using the "add default HISADDR" command, you are making sure that the IP Address of your service provider its going to be used as a default gateway, and all of your traffic are going to be sent to that way. > And what difference does it make > to add 'enable dns'? It seems my connection works either way, I think that you are enabling that your DNS requests are going to be resolved by your service provider, instead of another DNS server, (Maybe an Internal one with no recursion enabled). > notwithstanding the dropped connections, which i still haven't figured > out... :( After that you make sure that your dropped connection its not caused by: 1.- An idle timeout in your configuration 2.- An idle timeout in your service provider. 3.- A forced disconnection from your service provider after a X minutes of connection. 4.- A bad quality in your phone line (too noisy). You can use the "ppp -ddial" argument, some guys have soved his problems with this, and not just for remaking the call to your service provider when the link has been dropped, but they say that the had none reconnection in several days after they use this argument. > > -jonathon > Have Fun...
