hello,
i thought about what i said earlier
and i was mistaken.
i was confused because my setup uses a router that
is on the lan network, and you use a pp0 link to the internet.
hope i didnt get you too far off track
see ya
randy
now i will try to help some more :)
if you type 'ifconfig'
do you show any packets sent
=================================================================
