Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v2.53/R1) Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi all, I have read and followed ch13 "PPP & SLIP" doc for a dynamic IP and user PPP. ....but a) I find it ambiguous..do I do a ppp.conf file for static and then simply add in the 3 lines ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 delete ALL add 0 0 10.0.0.2 I guess I do! since there is nowhere in dynamic section that configs for my provider. If so, do I remove the 3 corresponding lines in static config section of doc? b) after re-booting I tried ppp dial provider and no dial occurred...it timedout Any ideas ? I have not been able to get a blip out of my modem...I know it works because the machine I'm installing freebsd on is a dual win95/bsd boot. In windows it dials how do you reckon this got to you? ;^) Thanks in advance Keith Spencer Teacher...St Margaret Marys College Townsville Australia
