Sorry about replying off list. I didn't notice I had done that. It is Bigpond I connect to and I do get denied packets and martians when I connect with Eigerstein. I'm not sure I am using the Dachstein supplied with BPALogin. Can you give a link? I will get it and try it.
Thanks again for your help with this.

Any ideas why that would happen? > It says it gets no lease! Ahh... that may log in kern.log instead of syslog/messages. There are a few oddball programs that do that, we can assume that dhclient is one of them. That would eliminate any of the other ideas I've had as well. You are probably using Big Pond as an ISP and as I remember correctly they were running the DHCP server under a private class ip address. If this was an issue, you should have had DENY'ed packets in the log files and/or martian errors. By chance are you using the Dachstein-contributed image that is built for BPALogin? If not, it might include other changes necessary to connect to Big Pond that I am not aware of. -- ~Lynn Avants aka Guitarlynn guitarlynn at users.sourceforge.net http://leaf.sourceforge.net If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question! ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
