What version of FreeBSD are you running? If you actually have a tunnel, as opposed to having multicast enabled on the other end of your ppp link, then you should put: phyint ppp0 disable tunnel ppp0 tun.nel.end.point metric 1 threshold 16 in your /etc/mrouted.conf, coordinating the metric & threshold with the other end of the tunnel. If you have multicast enabled on the other end of the ppp link, there was a problem with ppp links and native multicast which should be resolved in FreeBSD 2.1.5 , so you should upgrade to that. Also, you should set the netmask of your ppp interface properly. Bill
