After a couple hours of dabbling I have successfully setup a linux firewall to connect to a MS 2000 PPTP server. It can route traffice between the two lans and everyone is happy. My experience with pppd and what not is sort of limited. In the options.pptp which is evidently very much the same as pppd options. Is there a way that I can force it to redial a connection if the link is dropped as well as run a few shell commends when the link becomes active again? -- ----------------------------- |\/|ike at GetBent.net
