Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have a FreeBSD box running 2.2.5-RELEASE which is happy enough to dial up two ISPs, but a third, which has a Livingston PortMaster-2e on the other end, just won't connect properly with my FreeBSD box. Connecting to the PM-2e with Win95/DUN or MacOS/FreePPP works fine. It's only ppp in FreeBSD that's having a problem. Is it possible that something in the PM-2e configuration or in the remote (all static) routing tables might be causing difficulty? The authentication used in the Windows and MacOS tests was the same user/passwd pair used in the FreeBSD tests. I am not using IP aliasing. The FreeBSD box has just one ed0 and one tun0. The ppp.conf looks pretty much like this: default: set device /dev/cuaa0 set speed 115200 disable pred1 deny pred1 disable lqr deny lqr set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\ \T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" set redial 10 3 set log +connect xyz: set authname myname set authkey mypass set phone myphone set timeout 900 accept pap deny chap set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 set openmode active This is pretty much straight out of the tutorial. After I dialup and authenticate with ppp, my netstat -rn looks like: Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 192.168.1.32 UGSc 2 0 tun0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 2 lo0 192.168.1 192.168.1.254 UGSc 0 4 tun0 192.168.1.32 192.168.1.254 UH 3 0 tun0 192.168.2 link#1 UC 0 0 192.168.2.2 0:aa:0:c2:87:35 UHLW 3 4905 ed0 928 192.168.2.3 0:c0:93:0:3b:ce UHLW 2 157 lo0 192.168.2.128 8:0:3e:1d:33:19 UHLW 0 551 ed0 987 192.168.2.255 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff UHLWb 2 42 ed0 Here, 192.168.2.3 is the machine trying to make the connection. 192.168.1.254 is the address assigned by the PM-2e. 192.168.1.32 is the address of the PM-2e. This looks pretty much identical with the other ISPs which work fine (and are incidentally using FreeBSD, and probably PortMasters too). I'm confused. What am I overlooking here? I have control of the PortMaster-2e at the other end, since it's my company's equipment, so if there's something in there that I may need to adjust, I can do that. I've never seen such a problem with the ppp in FreeBSD before, this must be something obvious. Sigh. Oh yeah. I can ping the machines on the other side just fine. But I can't reach them with nslookup, telnet, etc. I have the firewall software installed on the FreeBSD box trying to connect but it's set to "open" (and it is open). Pointers are much appreciated. This is my first experience with all of this equipment at once. I did try a static host route through the PM-2e for the IP address assigned by the PM-2e, but this didn't do anything. Didn't think it would. Why would Windows and MacOS work fine but not FreeBSD? Wah!
