In localhost.freebsd.questions you write: >Let me keep this short and to the point. I have user PPP setup to dial >between two FBSD machines. The login process works just fine. I do get >the correct prompt "PPP ON mercury>". I can do a show ipcp and see the ip >number given to my machine is correct. When I switch virtual consoles and >try to ping the other PPP end no packet ever makes it through. When I >switch back to the PPP console and do a "show proto" I can see the ICMP >packets go out but nothing has come in. >Both machines have GATEWAY=YES in SYSCONFIG, and routeflag=-s like the >handbook says. BTW without routed running in cannot even ping the local >PPP address. My routing tables do look correct. My home machine gets a >default route to my work machine. After you get the "PPP ON mercury>" prompt, you need to issue the command "delete ALL", followed by "add 0 0 HISADDR", to get a default route. This won't work if your ICMP info doesn't get passed, but should work fine otherwise. The file /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup can contain commands to be run after the link has been established, in the same form as the ppp.conf file. Perhaps you missed this? >I am guessing that I missed something simple. I followed the handbook as >closely as possible. Any help would be appreciated. >Thanks in Advance >Tim Stoddard -- bryan k ogawa <bkogawa@primenet.com> http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/
