Good point! Maybe that is the reason why some ISPs are so obstinate about refusing to tell their customers what ISP's DNS numbers are. <snip> >> The first line of all my WATTCP.CFGs looks like this: >> include=path.cfg > You can accomplish the same thing by writing the values that are in > path.cfg directly into wattcp.cfg, without using include=path.cfg. Yes, I am aware of this. In order to produce a WATTCP.CFG having these values I would have to modify my dialup batch file to produce WATTCP.CFG instead of PATH.CGG. This is certainly easy to do, but not all my WATTCP.CFGs are the same for every application. Some applications require additional information in WATTCP.CFG, such as my host name and email address. >> The files I use for holding the arguments used to load EPPPD are batch >> files similar to the ones recently posted by Alejandro Lieber and myself. >> I programmed my batch files according to the models used by John Lewis of >> the VE3LGS Home Page, http://members.kingston.net/lewis > Whatever method you use, you should be able to see the difference > between the arguments to EPPPD and the values that go into path.cfg > or wattcp.cfg after the packet driver is loaded. >> Another question for you: Of the four environmental variables set by >> IP-UP.BAT, one is called "peermru" and it is set equal to a number.

I have been thinking about experimenting with changing this value. Maybe I shouldn't. I hesitate to break the rule about how one shouldn't fix something that works. Thanks for the info.
