If you're using iijppp (/usr/sbin/ppp), you need a line in ppp.conf: add 0 0 HISADDR. If this isn't the answer, what does "netstat -rn" say after it says "login ok" ? Can you ping the "gateway" ? If there's not gateway in your routing table, Try putting a line saying "set Debug Chat" in ppp.conf and have a look at the output (/var/log/ppp.log). -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
