Sometimes Kppp will not route like it is supposed to. I had this problem some ages ago when I was on a dialup, but it's been quite a while. Try the following. When kppp connects, note the ip address. Then from a root command prompt do route add default gw your.isp.dynamic.ip ppp0 In my case (in case you're interested) the final qualifier on my workstation here is eth0 instead of ppp0. If you were on a local lan attempting to connect to a gateway, you'd use the same route command line as above but just changing the device. This is a manual fix, a way to test. You should be able to ping out after you do this. --LX -- ��������������������������������������������������� Kernel 2.4.18-6mdk Mandrake Linux 8.2 Enlightenment 0.16.5-11mdk Evolution 1.0.2-5mdk Registered Linux User #268899 http://counter.li.org/ ���������������������������������������������������
