Well, I have to dial up to 25 different locations and all have DHCP
(standard dialup) dynamic IP addressing. I wonder if I remove the DFG
and just have static routes that the machines needs to function if that
might solve the problem. letting pppd set the default route. But I
can't tell if it is an issue with routing or ip assignment. like I
said, no error messages.
