It | : works for me. | | The default route does get set up. gated and routed apparently | automatically poll the far end of the pt-to-pt link and never get | a RIP response. They then tear down the default route. Then the question is still the same: If pppd inserts a default for you when the link comes up, *why* do you need to run gated or routed at all on your machine? Are you saying that you have an internal network which needs gated or routed? From your original posting it sounds like you only have a couple of other computers, in which case you certainly dont' need gated or routed. Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
