My /usr/pppup/ip-up and /usr/pppup/ip-down are calling /etc/HOSTNAME (which doesn't exist so I created it). Nothing else strikes me as odd. Reboot, and noticed an error: /etc/init.d/boot: hostname: command not found Copied HOSTNAME to hostname and rebooting got rid of the error but din't change anything else... Next step is to remove extra modules in modconf (maybe a conflict?) and try again... Otherwise it's another fresh install (and this time no adding extras to it until it works!)
