Any ideas what that is about? TIA. P.S. I chmod-ed /var/run/pppd.tdb to 0666 and still get the error. It is chown root:root Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted February 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 Wild. I added the debug options to the /etc/ppp/peers/dod file so that I could see what was going on and the error messages stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 Thought I would add this question to this post: All of a sudden (it worked before), when I open Netscape (/usr/local/netscape/netscape), it doesn't start the Dial On Demand. Opening IE from the other computer works fine and starts the Dial On Demand. I had to add change the command in the Properties of the Netscape icon on the taskbar to this: Command: ping -c 1 205.171.3.65 && /usr/local/netscape/netscape That works, but was just wondering why the act of opening Netscape doesn't work any more. The only thing I've changed recently in the preferences of Netscape is the cache: 'Compare the page in the cache to the page on the network' Changed it from 'When the page is out of date' to 'Every time I view the page' (Netscape 7) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
