hi!
Thanks for responding. I was playing around with the ppp.conf and
ppp.linkup files and never got it to work right. I did however after a while
figure out what my error was.
It is a simple one I think however I thought Id share it. On my network I use
the private IPs 10.0.0.x . My main computer is 10.0.0.1, my Win95 computer is
10.0.0.2, and my dial out machine is 10.0.0.4 . Well in the freeBSD ppp
configuration scripts it suggests that I use the following:
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0
Well as you can see this is what it tries to route in the beginning and
then waits for a correction from the ISP. Well for some reason it sets my
Win95 machine as the default gateway every time it redials and it sticks. heh
So I just put a fictional IP in the place of 10.0.0.2 and the ISP corrected it
because the strange IP had no route nor listing in my hosts file.
Once again Thanks for responding! freeBSD is a dream in my world!
