I was having problem connecting to the Net from my FBSD box.  When I
connect with kernel PPP, the coonection establishes but I cannot use 
lynx with site name.  i.e., lynx http://www.freebsd.org won't work but the
numeric address will.  So I had to telnet to 192.100.81.100 (netcom) in
order to access value.net.  It is really strange, I can telnet to
192.100.81.100 (netcom) but I cannot telnet to value.net (204.188.125.1
or 207.33.94.1).

Here're some of my configuration files.

/etc/ppp/option:

crtscts
modem
passive
mtu 1500
mru 1500
domain uniqsite.com 
netmask 255.255.255.254
206.14.149.33:207.33.94.1
defaultroute

/etc/resolv.conf:

domain value.net
nameserver 204.188.125.5
nameserver 204.188.125.8

part of /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1		localhost 		localhost.uniqsite.com
206.14.149.33		uniqsite.com		uniq

part of /etc/sysconfig:

ifconfig_tun0="inet uniqsite.com 207.33.94.1 netmask 255.255.255.254"


Please advise to the following address:
