All seems to go well until we reach lo0. After lo0 returns thaere is about a 1 minute wait and then the tun0: device appears. This is followed by add net very quickly. Now we have about a 5 minute wait for the boot process to continue. Once it restarts, it appears to continue normally and finish the boot. I am attempting to use the machine as a Proxy server to connect to the Internet. The only other problem that I am aware of is that I cannot get PPP to dial from the command line. Don't see any connection. I'm new to this and I am learning. Any help would be appreciated. dmd ---------------------------------------------------------- Don't Take Life Too Seriously - You'll Never Get Out Alive But When You Leave, May The Force Be With You! delpi@vivid.net David M.
