Date: 7 Jan 1995 15:18:56 GMT Organization: University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee Lines: 17 Message-ID: <3embd0$tcf@uwm.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: 129.89.35.13 All: I'm running ppp with routed as the dynamic host table. When I initially boot, netstart tries to add the gateway to the network which is unreachable. When I attempt to make the ppp connection (the boot sequence is over and I have logged in), I have no problem making the connection but when I try to ftp to various locations, I receive a host lookup failure. Do I have to add the gateway to the network after I make the ppp connection? BTW what are the differences between gated and routed. A book I have states that routed had been very buggy in the passed - gated is supposed to understand multiple protocols. Thanks in advance Bob Knier
