I'm running FreeBSD 4.6. (Have been setting up for a while now...)
I'm running PPPoE through an 8-port hub to my ADSL modem. I connect to the
Internet just fine.
(Thanks to "Cheaper Broadband with FreeBSD on DSL" by Renaud Waldura,
http://www.daemonnews.org/200101/pppoe.html)
There are also several other boxes on this network, including Windows ME & 98
systems. The Windows boxes are visible to one another as peers in a
workgroup.
Have attempted to set up networking on the FreeBSD box using PPP - Pedantic
PPP Primer (www.freeebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/ppp-primer/index.html)
which is "assumed to be relevant for FreeBSD 2.2+".
- Have created and verified a hostname in my rc.conf file.
- Have verified the ethernet connection is up and happy.
- Have created /etc/hosts file with all nodes identified and IP addresses
assigned in the 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2, ... series.
- Have pinged localhost and confirmed it is working as it should.
When I ping my FreeBSD box, assigned 192.168.1.1 IP address in /etc/hosts, it
is identified by the system with the ISP-assigned dynamic IP address, instead
of 192.168.1.1 and all packets are lost.
The instructions in the Pedantic Primer are: "If the IP address...is not
192.168.1.1...return to Section 2.4 adn review your entires in '/etc/hosts'.
Have done this, and the entries are as instructed.
Can't see any other boxes on my network (have updated the Windows/hosts files
also for the local IP addresses).
What have I done wrong?
Thanks,
Worth Bishop
