I saved /etc/ and /etc/ppp before I upgraded and restored /etc/ppp so ppp.conf and ppp.linkup are setup correctly. I also checked/updated [host.conf (for hosts,bind), resolv.conf and /etc/hosts]. I have a /dev/tun0 (I assume it is correct) and I am using the kernel that the boot floppy installed (I turned off most of the isa cards - maybe I turned off something else I wasn't suppose to? or misconfigured one of the /etc files). (i have 2.0's /etc on disk (but not as /etc) and the rest of 2.0 on tape) Anyways ping and traceroute fail to leave the local machine - I guess something could be wrong in one of the config files or in sysconfig (named is set to no but i keep thinking one of the if_networks is relevant to my problem). I don't know what to look for with netstat or show route (under ppp) to find the problem. I am using/have been assigned static ip. I would paste the exact logs (show log, show route, netstat) but er I can't get ppp to work to upload them. Anyways the connection gets established, my addr is correct and hisaddr is correct. I keep thinking there is something with regards to networks I need to turn on but the last time I did this (under 2.0) was 2 years ago. Any suggestions ? thanks, atk
