Ok I send a mesage this am that apparently diddnt make it to the list the question is can someone post their *working* /etc/diald.config & /etc/suseppp/diald/generic.diald *current error status* 1) diald wont start from boot. It says yes in rc.config and the system boots up on run level 2 I have to start diald manually ie:diald 2) when I request a service such as telnet <my provider in /etc/hosts> it triggers diald and sucessfully dials up gives me a local IP and remote IP then states "ppp not replacing existing default route to $" "connect script timed out. KIlling script" notice the error is *after* the ip address are issued ! Ive tried tweeking both /etc/diald.conf and /etc/suseppp/diald/generic.diald while diald was dialing up every 30 seconds no change any advise would be very much appreciated rob Linux Home page <A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm"><A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm</A">http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm</A</A>> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
