It's set up to do routing with NAT; two other computers plus a printer on an Ethernet, all with bogus IPs, routed thru the BSD box which has a PPP connection to the world. Everything seems to work fine, except that every time PPP connects I get, for example, gueuze# Sep 16 19:44:56 gueuze pppd[197]: CCP: timeout sending Config-Requests a couple of minutes after connecting. This doesn't seem to affect operation, but it looks like something's not right. Another weirdness: if I kill and restart pppd, it gives me the following message at the console (three times - one each for the three virtual consoles?) Sep 16 19:51:02 gueuze pppd[248]: ioctl(TIOCSETD): Device not configured ...but as I said, everything *seems* to be working OK. Is this something to be concerned about? More info: I'm running kernel PPP, a.k.a. pppd. I won't inflict my kernel config file on the list, but will supply it if asked. Here is my /etc/ppp/options: 204.97.64.155:204.97.64.118 # oddly, my IP is static ipcp-accept-remote # while my ISP's is not /dev/cuaa1 115200 connect '/usr/bin/chat -f /etc/ppp/dial.chat' defaultroute crtscts passive refuse-chap refuse-pap bsdcomp 12,12 deflate 12,12 demand idle 1200 ...and here is my /etc/ppp/dial.chat: ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' TIMEOUT 5 '' at&f1 OK ATDT TIMEOUT 45 CONNECT '' TIMEOUT 8 gin: word: Thanks in advance for any ideas on this, and thanks also for one kickass OS - unlike anything else I've seen, FreeBSD *works.* -- Chris Hill jchill@dgsys.com [place witty saying here] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
