I'm a little confused on what I need to configure for my upcoming DSL connection that uses PPPoE: Do I need to simply configure PPPoE, or must I configure PPPoE *and* dhclient? My address will be dynamically assigned, and it seems that both PPPoE and dhclient take care of this. But after a little more reading, it seems that dhclient is for a true Ethernet, whereas I should stick with PPPoE, right? Do I have to make changes to /etc/rc.conf like this: ifconfig_xl0="DHCP" or should I just leave it alone, since my PPPoE connection will be using the tun0 device? I'm pretty confused, although the steps that I need to take to get the whole thing seems pretty straightforward. -- David Kanter djkanter@northwestern.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
