Since upgrading to 3.1 I have been unable to connect to my new ISP, from the same hardware. I have a dynamic account on a lone, single-user P133 with an internal modem. I am able to dial up, but not packets get passed. After a short while, usually about 20 seconds I get disconnected. The ppp never changes to PPP and I get the message Warning: Chat script failed In the /var/log/ppp.log very little seems useful, but the example of the log instructions given in _The Complete FreeBSD_, /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample, _The PedanticPPP_, etc., etc., causes PPP to fail entirely. [I mean the line that says set log Phase Chat Connect LCP tun command ; I can't get PPP to do anything unless this line is commented out.] So far this error message seems to most useful: ifconfig ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Destination address required When I tried connecting via the PPP tool in KDE, which I have been exploring, I found a similar message in the log. When I tried to use PPP and log on using term, was flooded by a message saying /kernel: sio2: 1 more silo overflow (total n) , which I don't understand at all. It looks to me like I am not communicating with my modem: sio2/cuaa2 is working, but ping, netstat -rn, route, etc., tell me no route to host Could anyone help me out with this? I certainly would appreciate being able to go on to a more interesting problem (and one less embarrassing than simply connecting to my ISP), to say nothing of being able to read my email at home, and maybe do a little websurfing.... TIA! Ciao, Chris Booth aixx.net p.s.: I don't know if this is relevant or not; my new ISP requires only username, which I need to send, and then password, which the ISP prompts me for with password: then the ISP sends "Entering PPP", which is followed by the usual gobbeldygook. I have tried using "set openmode active", but with no discernable result. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
