Thanks to all who helped I now have this figured out. The details: Red Hat 6.2, kernel 2.2 16-3, IP masquerading set up with Pmfirewall, rp3 used to set up internet connection and wvdial as the dialler. I selected Red Hat>Internet>Dialup Configuration Tool. In the box that opened, I selected the connection and then selected the "Edit" button. I then selected the "Advanced" tab and ticked the "Begin connection when computer is turned on" option. After selecting the "Apply" button I exited and added the "demand" option to my /etc/ppp/options file. I rebooted my computer although I probably didn't have to. It paused when trying to bring up ppp0 but continued due to the "demand" option I specified. I then started a web browser on one of my workstations and the modem on the gateway connected. Thanks again for all your help, Cindy _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
