Help needed Date: Sat, 31 Aug 1996 21:19:55 GMT Organization: Streamwave Communications Corp. Lines: 15 Message-ID: <3228ab0f.28426142@news.synapse.net> Reply-To: yves@streamwave.com NNTP-Posting-Host: brook.streamwave.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Newsreader: Forte Agent .99f/32.275 I've got a server running FreeBSD 2.1.0. The problem is when we connect through the dial-in lines and hangup, sometimes that users IP stays stuck in the routing table and never expires. This becomes a problem when you try to log back on using that IP since the entry is already there, the server doesn't seem to reassign it. Therefore you don't get any routing... The only way I can fix that is once that user is offline, I must manually delete his route. Does anyone have any ideas on what is causing the IP's to stay stuck? Is it my ppp software on ther server? Is it the name daemon control interface? Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Yves Dagenais yves@streamwave.com
