Michel, Thanks for the reply, I was beginning to feel ignored. And thinking of the other lists. In any event, yes, I can ping the PPP peer (numerically), but not anybody else. I have been wondering about default route, but I don't know what to do about it. If you could provide some advice on that, I would most appreciate it. Also, one further bit of info: lynx gives me a message "lynx: Can't access startfile http://www.snet.net"; (my IP). Thanks again. Mike
