RE: DNS calls....
Hello Jeremy,
Thank you for the response.
I am sorry for brief description of the problem. There is no diald
installed, the system runs straight forward "isdnutils". Something keeps
the line up. Every few minutes there is a call to a broadcast address and
port 138, or a call to a DNS server :(. There is no broadcast specified in
network configuration for ippp0 (my ISDN interface). I would like to be
able to see "who" initiates" those calls.
Best regards
"Jersey"

I am not sure if I understand this. Are you saying that your ISDN
connection is only up (dials out) when connected by some diald (or other
daemon)? And that it connects when you don't want it to?
Use "ps auxwwww" to see what daemons are running. Maybe disable diald (or
whatever dials up) and just connect manually instead.
Look at all your crontabs -- can you correlate some process with the same
time that it dials up?
How often does it try to connect? (What times?)
