IPCP is done only between the PPP server and the PPP client, IPCP data is exchanged using PPP control packets. It occurs before IP packets even start flowing and is at a level below the IP stack. ipchains has nothing to do with IPCP. If PPP reports the link as successful but ifconfig does not show the link is up, suspect your PPP client or the post processing scripts. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
