Hello, Thanks for your reply. I did what you suggested but it didnt work :-( I have attached the output of ppp0 to this email. I was connected with IP address 202.85.95.85 and the output shown in file pppwww was keeping up my connection. In this session I used netscape to goto the site www.scmp.com and did nothing after that. In this case the website started these packets but since they were every 2 minutes and my diald timeout was also 2 minutes....it managed to disconnect by itself when the website was a bit late. The connection came back up again in about a minute or so with the IP address 202.85.99.209 and the output during this connection is in pppout2. As you can see that the packets with IP address of the previous connection is still there aswell as the ones from a connection even before that!! There are no packets with the current IP address but the link stays up!! They do not look like tcp.fin packets to me, but im no expert so I cant say for sure. The line ignore tcp tcp.fin in standard.filters did not help. Also "echo 7 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr" in rc.local did not work. I dont know what these packets are and why they are bugging me. I hope you can help. Vikash.
