The handbook, rc.conf, and the ppp man page don't jive and no single one them works. This is really annoying because I had this working with DSL some time ago, but I can't get it going with my cable modem (Redhat and XP worked). Could someone please post the REAL ppp and pppoe options needed in rc.conf and post the ppp.conf file you are using? Please? I guess I should mention that I need my IP address determined by DHCP, which I thought was handled by "enable dns." Am I wrong? And yes, I know my ethernet card works - dc0. I'll even send a diff for the handbook if you send me something that works. Thank you very, very much. If possible, send a cc to jhestess at yahoo. Take care. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Shopping - with improved product search http://shopping.yahoo.com
