Any help is greattly appreciated pppconfig that configures your connection pon [providername] Initiates it poff [providername] Stops it. Look at /etc/ppp/ for more files/options and more importantly /etc/ppp/no_ppp_on_boot (which you will change to /etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot) for your gateway. apt-get install ipmasq Will get your ip masqerading working. And you can change the default dynamic firewall setup with the scripts in /etc/ipmasq. man ipmasq for more info Kind Regards Crispin

Run pppconfig as root and answer the questions (sounds like you will want to choose chat authentication). When you are done you will be able to start ppp with the command pon and stop it with poff. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI
