I updated to -current yesterday (FreeBSD 2.1.0-Development #0), and connect to the Internet via PPP. This box also routes to two other machines (a PC and a Mac) on my LAN. That all appears to be working fine. (On that note, I want to thank Jordan and others who answered my questions about sup and 'make world' -- all went smoothly). However, maybe this is where your concern comes in. When I checked my link to the net today, I was getting >2000ms ping responses with my gateway -- which is connected via pppd over a 28.8Kbps modem. I've seen this before in 2.0, but thought it might have been fixed in the 2.1.0d0 update. Apprarently not. It seems to come randomly after a while, and goes away when I shut down ppp and start it up again. Another thing I'm noticing with this update is that netstat reports every connection this machine (io.cts.com) has made to net sites. The previous revision only ever listed my local arp-created entries and my PPP default gateway (nb40). Now it shows my primary and secondary name servers, site's I've visited with ftp (which are no longer connected), and so forth: Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Interface default nb40 UGc 0 10 ppp0 localhost localhost UH 0 23 lo0 fraggel65.mdstud nb40 UGHW3 0 305 ppp0 sosco.sco.COM nb40 UGHW3 0 51181 ppp0 websco.sco.COM nb40 UGHW3 0 275 ppp0 crash nb40 UGHW 1 375 ppp0 vmbb nb40 UGHW 1 298 ppp0 donews nb40 UGHW3 0 6 ppp0 nb40 io UH 8 0 ppp0 wcarchive.cdrom. nb40 UGHW3 0 79 ppp0 198.68.174.32 link#1 UC 0 0 ed1 io 0:0:1b:25:57:70 UHLW 1 238 lo0 I don't know if this is broken or corrected behavior. I assume that at some point these routes will timeout and auto-flush? Perhaps I've misconfigured my ppp options file?
