All of the replys I have received so far are the same thing I found in the archives. It seems to either work or it doesn't. What I'm thinking is maybe Verizon gives people different modems. My modem says it's a DSL2+Router, so maybe it would work if it was just a DSL2 modem without the Router? This morning I noticed something new in the plog: Jan 18 10:05:43 lotek pppd[4903]: pppd 2.4.4 started by root, uid 0 Jan 18 10:05:43 lotek pppd[4903]: Using interface ppp0 Jan 18 10:05:43 lotek pppd[4903]: Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP Jan 18 10:05:43 lotek pppd[4903]: local IP address 10.64.64.64 Jan 18 10:05:43 lotek pppd[4903]: remote IP address 10.112.112.112 Does anyone know how I can fix the "Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP"? I've been reading "man pppd" and the "options" file, but I haven't figured it out yet. Larry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
