Warner, Thanks for your reply. You may have already seen my followup to this post.
Yes, through a careful monitoring of netstat during the whole process I determined that the address *was* going away. It was slopy on my part to have initially based my assumption about the state of the default route on the error messages I received when PPP tried to install the new route. Some time since 2.2.7, and specifical 4.3, PPP has started handling add in a different manner. I have been moving the same ppp.conf through several laptops and numerous upgrades, this time I was bitten. (add 0 0 127.2.2.2) no longer works, (add default HISADDR) does. I assume PPP was trying to add the route twice. -- Jim Weeks On Sun, 17 Feb 2002, M.
