None of which yet did the job. =20 I just need to connect my notebook to the internet using pppoe to hook up to t-dsl, a German adsl provider. =20 I installed 5.4 Release with very few problems. =20 I modified ppp.conf according to various postings on this list. =20 Yet I am quite unsure as to which other configuration files I have to adapt and which to leave alone.=20 =20 Every posting in the archive differs somewhat regarding this issue (e.g. does one have to modify host.conf or resolv.conf or or others or none and if yes how???). =20 Anyway, trying to use the most generic ppp.conf it hangs in 'Phase' (as far as I can understand the log). It redials and redials, which results in multiple =20 deflink: Connected deflink: Hangup =20 sequences in the /var/lod/ppp.log. Btw, I upped the rl0 interface prior to starting ppp, so I hope this is not an issue. There is no activity on the LEDs of the dsl modem. =20 To preempt some suggestions - it actually worked under SuCKse Linux 9.3, one of the few things that did actually work, which prompted me to switch to FreeBSD. =20 I should be truly thankful if I were to receive some hints. =20 Thanks
