I discovered why the name of the pppd session kept incrementing each time I disconnected and re-connected. Although no damage was done, I know know how to disconnnect properly so here it is. ps -A (to see all process) kill X (where X is the process ID of pptp) kill Y (where Y is the process ID of pppd) My previous suggestion of **ifconfig ppp0 down** disabled the connection but didn't kill the session so at the next connection, a new pppd session (named ppp1, or ppp2, etc) was created. //------------------------- Shlomo Solomon E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://come.to/shlomo.solomon Date: 08-Sep-2000 Time: 14:43:38 Message sent by XFMail on a LINUX Mandrake 7.0 machine //------------------------- ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
