My host uses PAP & dynamic ip's so I am unable to run "ifconfig tun0 inet my_ip my_host netmask 0xffffff00" in /etc/netstart Is this required under these circumstances or does iij set up the interface upon successful negociation. Also I don't have a lan connection so the only ifconfig entry I have is for the loopback. And, I don't run routed or gated. When I try and ping 205.205.70.175 (my host) nothing happens. It seems this is pretty straight forward, at least it was the last time I had FBSD 2.01 installed on my system Also I've assigned myself an ip of 10.0.0.1 and I can't even ping myself. I guess not if no interfaces are configured??? **************************************************************** Robert Burns rjburns@lanzen.net Mtl.,Canada ****************************************************************
