I did the main installation last night. I have referred to the FreeBSD handbook and tried to follow along with chapter 14. But, I seem to be have a few set backs. Here goes: Chapter 14.1.3 deals with checking tun devices. it says to # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV tun0 if just the one tunnel is needed and then gives examples of how to make more than one tunnel. then it says to # ifconfig tun0 says that you check that to confirm that the kernel is configured correctly. then it says it should give the following response tun0: flags=8050 mtu 1500 the response I get after doing # ifconfig tun0 is ifconfig.interface tun0 does not exist Why is it telling me this? My kernel is the GENERIC kernel for now and it says that it should be configured properly to handle tun0. Am I doing something wrong? Or can I go ahead and proceed. I'd appreciate any help. Thank you Jason( |s0n1c| ) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
