I have a ppp configuration hta works fine (as root) if I do a ifup ppp0. It was created in linuxconf, and I selected activate at boot. However, when the machine boots, it attempts to make the ppp connection, but always fails. It will continue to retry and fail until I do a ifdown/fup manually, when it works as expected. Would you mind CCing replies diectly to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] please since I'm on vacation, and am unable to keep track of the list :) thanks charles -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
