I'm completely unfamiliar with kppp, and it's been quite a while since I've worked with pppd at all, but if you look in /etc/ppp/options you might see a line like this: [<IPaddr>]:[<IPaddr>] The square brackets are intended to indicate that the IP addresses on either side of the colon are optional. One represents the IP address you are requesting, and the other is the IP address that you think the remote end should be (IIRC). If you see this line, delelte it and you should be all set. If you DON'T see this line, that means kppp has some other method of passing options to pppd that I'm not familiar with. Most probably it keeps its own options file somewhere, and there's a line like that in that file. I have no guesses where that might be, since I don't even have kppp installed. Basically, when you initiate a PPP connection, pppd must be run with some options file, a la: pppd file /etc/ppp/options kppp must be doing this for you, but you'll need to find the options file it is using, and fix it. The man page for pppd, as always, will give you all the info you need to get this working, IF you can find that options file. Note that it is possible to pass options to pppd on the command line as well, and kppp might be doing that instead. If that's the case, then you need to take a look at your kppp config and make sure you're not specifying any IP address for the connection. -- Derek Martin Senior System Administrator Mission Critical Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following text in the *body* (*not* the subject line) of the letter: unsubscribe gnhlug **********************************************************
