hello everyone, i am setting up my computer and want to establish internet connection over ADSL. For this i have to use pptp. The annoying thing is, that doing 'pptp 10.0.0.138' i get a connection only every second time. Perhaps it is a problem, that i cannot stop pptp but killing it, and therefore pppd has to clean up? i am using pppd 2.4.3 and pptp 1.5.0 Thanks in advance /etc/ppp/options name "***" noauth noipdefault defaultroute lcp-echo-failure 10 lcp-echo-interval 10 Here are the logs: /var/log/daemon/notice: Jan 15 13:28:33 waltz pppd[685]: Using interface ppp0 Jan 15 13:28:36 waltz pppd[685]: CHAP authentication succeeded Jan 15 13:28:44 waltz pppd[685]: Hangup (SIGHUP) Jan 15 13:28:44 waltz pppd[685]: Connect time 0.2 minutes.
