Lines: 35 Message-ID: <4phuaq$8qh@egate.egate.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: ether.egate.net X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Hi.. We have a few dial-up users using ppp on our system. They are all using static addresses and connect to us using pppd. The problem I am having is that not ALL the time but SOME times that the route that pppd creates when it is called does not go away after the user disconnects. This of course leads to the problem that users cannot log on the next time because pppd cannot create a route (it allready exists). I have to manually delete it. Does anyone have any ideas? The user connects using Win95 Dial Up. I noticed the Unknown protocol errors but everything seems to work if the route doesn't get hung. Does anyone have any idea?
