Thus, the packets go via the > ppp interface. I'm not sure if this will solve your problem, but I've found that, in general, if you are routing through a point to point link like PPP or SLIP, it is best to use the "other" end of the link as the routing address. For instance, if your 158.152.22.16 sl0 interface is connected to 158.152.22.1, change the above route command to: # route add -net 158.152 158.152.22.1 -- Wes Peters | Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late Softweyr | The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder Consulting | I'm an over forty victim of fate... wes@intele.net | Jimmy Buffet
