I'm a >typical home user with dynamically allocated IP addresses. >Anyway, when I try to start a straight-forward ppp connection (I've not included any >"auto" options etc yet) to my local ISP (by typing "dial ISP" at the ppp prompt) I get a >host of error/warning messages like: add route failed; 0.0.0.0:errno:network is >unreachable; DialModem:dial failed. Are you sure you're using the latest version of ppp? I had the same error message until I downloaded the newest ppp from www.freebsd.org/~brian/ . As I obviously didn't have a working ppp connection yet, I downloaded it onto a floppy from a non-BSD partition. To install it (as here the handbook is not idiot-proof), I did the following: mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt to mount the floppy mkdir -p /usr/ports/name-of-new-directory to create a directory to install to cd /usr/ports/new-directory change to new directory tar xzvf /mnt/name-of-pkg-on-floppy to unpack package from floppy cd /usr/ports/new-directory/name-of-pkg make make install It worked like a charm. PPP is up and running and I've made many more packages while connected. Now I just have to learn what to do with them:) If this is not your problem, re-read the FAQ at www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ160.html and let me know how she goes.
