Folks,
	I downloaded FreeBSD from freebst.org about a week ago and it is my first
real experience with UNIX (I''ve had shell accounts before).  I'm having
some trouble getting my 'puter connected up to the Internet with ppp.
Here's what happens:  I open up ppp and tell it to dial my provider (The
Grid).  It dials and logs in fine.  PPP becomes capatilized and it seems
that I've negotiated a connection.  But if I try ping or tracertoue,
nothing comes up.  Traceroute comes back with all *'s, so I don't think it
is getting an IP or finding the router.  Sometimes when I go back to ppp, I
get a "select: Bad file descriptor" error and ppp exits.

netstat reports:
unconnected:
Destination	Gateway		Flags		Refs	Use	netifexpire
127.0.0.1	127.0.0.1	UH		0	0	lo0

connected:
Destination	Gateway		Flags		Refs	Use	netifexpire
default		209.60.228.1	UGSc		0	0	tun0
127.0.0.1	127.0.0.1	UH		0	0	lo0
209.60.228.1	209.60.228.127	UH		1	0	tun0

in my ppp.conf file:
grid:
 <modem stuff>
 set ns: 206.190.65.2
 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0
 deny lqr
 delete ALL
 add 0 0 HISADDR

in my ppp.linkup all I have is:
MYADDR:
 delete ALL
 add 0 0 HISADDR

the ppp.log file reports (and this is from a different attempt than the
netstat report)
<connecting stuff>
Phase: Network
myaddr=209.60.233.188
hisaddr=209.60.233.1
OsLinkup:209.60.233.1
OsLinkdown:209.60.233.1
Terminated 0

Any ideas?  Thanks,
	Dean
