Hi! I'm having trouble with "kernel" ppp. After a lot of work (51% of it was guess-work :), it is working fine, except that sometimes, when a user dials in, the following message appears at the console screen: ------------------------------------------ pppd 2.1.2 started by prueba, uid 1001 Using interface ppp0 Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyd0 local IP address 168.234.52.44 remote IP address 168.234.52.45 ioctl(SIOCAIFADDR): Address already exists ------------------------------------------ After that, the user will still be connected, but no packet routing will take place, and the user will never see the "My ip address is x.x.x.x" message in the winsock console screen. This problem does not occur all the time, but very often. The client I'm using is Trumpet Winsock version 2.0 (16 bit). The settings are: IP Address: 0.0.0.0 nameserver: (my nameserver ip) Internal PPP VJ compression ON baud rate 38400 I think the problem is in the client side... I checked interface assignments everytime, and seemed normal (i.e. ppp0 is released when the modem hangs up). My box is not running routed nor gated. Any help would be highly appreciated.

I searched the Web looking for information about this, but all pages that seemed related to my problem were in japanese! It seems like japaneses love FreeBSD and use it extensively :)
