Hello People:

I'm having problems getting user mode ppp working. I'm using
FreeBSD 2.1.6R

I'm able to dial up my ISP and make a connection. I'm assigned an ip
number. I'm able to ping the ip number I've been assigned. However, I'm
not able to ping any other numbers like the isp's terminal server number.

This is the output some of the output from my ppp.log file.

03-15 10:40:40 [459] IPCP: Received Configure Ack (3) state = Ack-Sent (8)
03-15 10:40:40 [459] IPCP: state change Ack-Sent --> Opend 
03-15 10:40:40 [459] IPCP: LayerUp.
03-15 10:40:40 [459]  myaddr = 203.23.239.1  hisaddr = 203.23.236.194 
03-15 10:40:40 [459] OsLinkup: 203.23.236.194
INP  UDP: 203.23.236.194:520 ---> 203.23.239.1:520
OUT  UDP: 203.23.239.1:520 ---> 203.23.236.194:520

I get the message on my console saying;
packet from unknown router, 203.23.236.194
which means that I have received the packet from the isp's  terminal server.

I'm able to ping the ip number I've been given;
$ ping 203.23.239.1
PING 203.23.239.1 (203.23.239.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 203.23.239.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=1.064 ms
64 bytes from 203.23.239.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.645 ms


However, I'm not able to ping the isp's ip number;

$ ping 203.23.236.194
PING 203.23.236.194 (203.23.236.194): 56 data bytes
^C
--- 203.23.236.194 ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

Also the routing tables seem ok;

$ netstat -r
Routing tables

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags     Refs     Use     Netif Expire

setsuko            localhost          UH          0       10       lo0
localhost          localhost          UH          0       42       lo0
203.23.236.194     203.23.239.1       UH          1        0      tun0
203.23.239.1       localhost          UH          0        0       lo0

The really odd thing about all of this is that while I've been trying to get
all of this working, on two occasions I've received mail onto my machine that
was supposed to go to my isp. I've told my isp about this but they aren't able
to explain why.


Best regards,

Ian Wynne
