My ppp.conf has got this "add default HISADDR" as well. Your ifaddr line doesn't look too different from mine. You have chosen just a different IP address which doesn't look to me would make any difference. Going on with my tests I've found out another weird behavior. If I substitute the ifaddr line with: set ifaddr 0 0 255.255.255.0. 0.0.0.0 and then I run ppp manually ("ppp -auto" would refuse to start), the first time I succeed to connect properly, while every subsequent dial fails with the same error as with the original ifaddr. I have to quit ppp and run it again to be able to negotiate properly with my ISP. Weird, isn't it? -- walter pelissero http://www.pelissero.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
