Hi jeff,=20 I am not in a lan, nor is there any computer connected to mine. I am just c= onnecting to my isp using adsl. I have tried all the way you and others provided and then readed the handbo= ok again and again, but just couldn't find a solution. every article(including handbook) on setting pppoe connect all assumes that= freebsd IS ALREADY SETUPPED, and requires modification of /etc/ppp.conf,=20 but I can't modify anything in installation.=20 Is it possible to download all the base component in other os(I have win98 = and debian running), and then just run the setup program with components on other partitions. After a base system is running, then setup pppoe? Thanks a lot........
