Like a dolt, I didn't even recognize this. I had the exact same problem that Kris has described, and after a reinstall, I noticed it went away "automagically". Of course, I don't have ipmasq installed this time. *doh!*
BTW, HTML-mail SUCKS. :) Sean Johnny Thompson wrote: I had the same problem.. IP masquerade isn't re-reading the firewall rules after the link goes down. Creating a null /etc/{wherever}ipmasqueradeislocatedinthisdirectory/ppp file. touch /etc/ipmasq/ppp .. That should solve your problem.. ;) If that doesn't work, uninstall ipmasq because you probably don't need it anyway. BTW: STOP REINSTALLING.. :)
