I did what Jordan suggested. I put host before bind in
/etc/host.conf, and I made sure /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup included
MYADDR:
add 0 0 HISADDR
I still don't get an automatic dial when I try a network function, I
just get told "no route to host" if the host is in my /etc/hosts file,
and "Unknown host" for hosts not in my /etc/hosts.
Is there a FAQ for iijppp anywhere that might help with this?
