Hi, My second netgear router has crashed in as many years, so I've decided to connect FreeBSD 5.3 via pppoe. Configuration was a breeze, and I have complete functionality. However, I can't determine what nameserver the pppoe connection is directing FreeBSD to use. With the netgear router, the ISP nameserver was shown on the configuration screen, so I had assumed that this value was provided by the ISP's dhcp server. Before I switched over to pppoe I simply added the router address into /etc/resolv.conf and it worked. But now I can't figure out where to get this value. I tried the gateway address provided to pppoe, but that doesn't work. Can anyone direct me to a man page or some other resource that will help me get the proper information over to FreeBSD? Thanks lane
