Well, are you sure that it isn't being called? On my machine, I just checked this (by adding in the persist option and then fiddling with my modem's power cord to get it to drop the connection a few times and force pppd to redial), and it appears that /etc/ppp/ip-up is indeed getting called again when ppp connectivity is re-established. For what it's worth, my ppp is version 2.2.0f-23. (straight from my 1.3.1 CD) Could you put something into /etc/ppp/ip-up that looks like: echo "`date` == $4" >> /tmp/ipaddrs That way, each time /etc/ppp/ip-up is run, it'll add a line to /tmp/ipaddrs, which you can then look at to see if ip-up is indeed getting run. I'd put this line near the top of the /etc/ppp/ip-up file, right after the PATH statement. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
