For ppp it should go in the netmask statement should go in /etc/ppp/options.ttyS? You might want to make sure it's not being overriden in /etc/ppp/peers/provider (or whatever you've called that file on your system). > I have a number of real IP addresses for personal use, and I'm > apparently supposed to use subnet mask 255.255.255.248 with them on my > LAN, but I guess I need to use 255.255.255.0 for the dialup connection > to server. It really shouldn't make any difference. Since you are using a Point to Point link, all of your outgoing traffic has to go to the gateway machine (ie the machine you're dialing into). > I have set 255.255.255.248 OK, Where? > > nslookup seems to tell me that the connection is established OK, but I > can only ping one of the two DNS numbers .... the other one doesn't seem > to do anything. I seriously doubt these are related but the only way to say for sure is for you to post your address block and the address of the DNS servers in question. > > A couple of people have asked me to send them a copy of various log > files or config files or whatever, but when I copy the file to a floppy > it immediately becomes unreadable by a Windows box The entire disk is unreadable? or the files just look a bit odd?

I'm guessing it works differently in different applications so pick one and then ask. -- Ray
