I can just re-run ppp, type 'dial' and it works, even when I have to manually type the default route. Don't ifconfig tun0 before running ppp, it'll take care of that itself. If it's still bugging you, try doing 'ifconfig tun0 down' before starting ppp up again. > p.s. Is there any way to boot FreeBSD from DOS? > I know LILO works for Linux... Yes, look in /usr/mdec/fbsdboot.exe Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
