Hello,

I'm trying to setup ppp connection between two freeBSD workstations.
freeBSD version: 3.3

        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000

I also modified those files: /etc/ppp/options, ppp.conf, ppp.deny.

When I do ping to the other WS, I got:
ping: sendto: Network is down

There's no problem with the cable.

Would you please help me on this?

Thanks,/Helen
