Don't use a local or remote IP of 0.0.0.0 as this will get interpreted as
the default route. Use something like 1.2.3.4 and 4.3.2.1 instead.

First packet, ie. the one that brings up the link is probably lost because
the return IP (ie. the dynamic one assigned to you) will be different to
the one in the ping packet that you sent out. ie. the replies won't be able
to find you.
How to test this .....
1) Ping an IP
2) As soon as the link comes up kill the ping and THEN do it again straight
away before the link goes down. You'll probably find that this now works.
The reason it worked with a static IP is because your IP didn't change.
This issue has been mentioned in the FAQ and also many many times in this
list ..... ie. check the archives to see what other people have done and
whether anyone has a work around.

Subject: dynamic ip's
hello,
i am currently using diald with an isp who provides a me with a static
address, this works fine - i ping an address - it dials - and the ping
responds.
when I set up with an isp who dynamicly assigns addresses i leave the our
ip
and remote ip blank (linuxconf dialout screens) but when i try to ping, i
get "connect: invalid argument"
please could someone explain what this message means and why it is produced
(out of instance - if i set te our ip to 0.0.0.0 it dials then i get no
response from pinging)
I am using redhat 6.1 and linuxconf to setup the dialout
yours
