I'm trying to get a verizon DSL service started on my FreeBSD box. I don't have windows running at home, so I cannot run their install software. The nice folks there, have been helpful enough to walk me through the install. I'm happy they are taking a shot at it. They have given me the install username and password, which will expire in 24 hours. If I can get the modem working in that time, then we can proceed to registration and the rest. The modem is a westell, and I have connected everything up (subquestion: can PPPoE be run on the same NIC as my LAN? Right now the other computer is disconnected from the hub so it is just my gateway and the modem.). I have used the example from the handbook: default: set log Phase tun command # you can add more detailed logging if you wish set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 name_of_service_provider: set device PPPoE:xl1 # replace xl1 with your ethernet device set authname YOURLOGINNAME set authkey YOURPASSWORD set dial set login add default HISADDR with rc.conf ppp_enable="YES" ppp_mode="ddial" ppp_nat="YES" # if you want to enable nat for your local network, otherwis ppp_profile="name_of_service_provider" (and all the LAN related stuff in rc.conf commented out to prevent any possible interferences, see subquestion). I am getting dial->carrier Hangup! in the ppp.log file (I won't be back home til this evening, if someone wants more lines from the logfile). Which seems bad. I have tried manually started ppp and using the 'term' option (I used to have very informative conversations with my phone-modem this way), but the DSL modem doesn't say anything (no happy 'OK', but I am not sure if it is supposed to). Anyhow, does anyone out there have this setup? Suggestions on changes to my rc.conf or ppp.conf or anything? -r To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
