Date: 31 Jul 1995 01:08:22 GMT Organization: StarNet Communications, Inc Lines: 17 Message-ID: <3vhae6$fb6@blackice.winternet.com> References: <3vds6p$gnq@blackice.winternet.com> <3vfr1t$aic@agate.berkeley.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: klondike.winternet.com X-Newsreader: TIN [UNIX 1.3 950621BETA PL0] 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? -- John D.
