I am running 3.4 and am using PPPoE as we speak. Works real well. What you should do is go to the freebsd.org page and search the mailing lists for PPPoE and it will show you exactly what to do. Here is my /etc/options file default: set device PPPoE:mx0 set mru 1492 set mtu 1492 deny pap accept chap set speed sync set cd 5 set authname blahblah@bellsouth.net set authkey <password> enable lqr set redial 0 0 set dial add 0 0 HISADDR and my /etc/ppp.conf file looks exactly the same. I do a ppp -nat -ddial default and presto, your bound to tun0 and rocking.. hope this helps.. Matt Thomas -----Original Message----- I discovered that 3.4 supports PPPoE. So I upgraded to 3.4, followed the setup given in the handbook exactly (substituting as appropriate) and gave it a try. No Dice. I'm using a Westell modem connected via a hub. My ISP is Bell Atlantic. Has anyone out there managed to get PPPoE to work? Anyone use Bell Atlantic.net? Windoze 95 uses dial-up networking to establish a connection via WinPoet. In the dial up window, it displays "VPN Server : 111-1111" where the phone number usually is. Is this something I need to address when setting BSD's ppp.conf file? Are there any additional FAQ's or Howtos? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
