Problem appears to have started when I was playing with the "SWAPPATH = " line of config.sys, but it must be deeper than that. Presently SWAPPER.DAT properties shows it as 2Gigabyte file on a 1.5Gigabyte partition. I'll have to find the rogue program.

Anyway what I did that overcome the problems follows All files mentioned are in c:\MPTN\ETC\ directory Firstly there is the ppp0.log file. It logs what happens in the ppp0 interface. Files dhcpcd.cfg & dhcpcd.tcp. I appended the following two lines of text to both files clientid denny ( your client id) interface ppp0 Also I created a pap secrets file, I know it's not required, but I did it anyway Create a file named Pap.Sct andput the following two lines in, tab seperated #client server secret acceptible local ip address userid * password using your userid and password Now I'm assuming that you are not running a home LAN, I disabled mine to get the internet back up, and so have not got around to trying to get the LAN running too. But try what I've said above, and if that doesn't work I'll have to dig deeper and see if there are differences in my InJoy settings.
