What appears to be happening is that ip_dynaddr isn't working properly. The first connection (the one which initiated the dial) fails. Prior to noticing the problem with ppp I also upgraded to 2.4.9 of the kernel. So my question is this, is there a known problem with ip_dynaddr or is it more likely to be a problem with the default configuration of DNS lookups in glibc as I have seen suggested elsewhere? -- (\/)atthew Hambley ----------------\ If something's worth doing it's worth \ doing badly until you can learn to matthew@aether.demon.co.uk \ do it well. http://www.aether.demon.co.uk/ \-----------------------------------
