[clap clap clap] Actually, I'm sure you're not.. Lesse here. I have NO problems with manual or automatic dialing, however when I try to use the -auto switch for ondemand dialing I cannot get the triggering program (ie. ftp freebsd.cdrom.com) to connect. I can CTRL-C out and redo the command (ie. ftp freebsd.cdrom.com) and it'll work fine. Here's my /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file: default: set device /dev/cuaa3 set speed 38400 disable lqr deny lqr set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0M0 OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" # eireann is my service provider eireann: set phone nnnnnnnnn set login "TIMEOUT 5 login:-\\r-login: myname word: mypass protocol: ppp" set ifaddr myipaddress hisipaddress add 0 0 HISADDR set dfilter 0 deny icmp set dfilter 1 permit 0/0 0/0 set timeout 60 And here's my /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup file MYADDR: add 0 0 HISADDR Then, finally, I have this in /etc/sysconfig ... network_interfaces="lo0 tun0" ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" ifconfig_tun0="inet myipaddress hisipaddress netmask 0xffffff00" ... And this in /etc/start_if.tun0: #!/bin/sh /usr/sbin/ppp -auto eireann --- I also have "hosts" before "bind" in /etc/host.conf, and that's basically it. For the settings of "myipaddress" or "hisipaddress" you can also put 0 if it's being dynamically negotiated. I've tried this also, and it works fine. Good luck! Jordan
