I'm trying allow a dialin connection to my 4.8-STABLE
box (although I've tried with my 5.1-CURRENT box with
the same results) via userland ppp.
The modem can connect just fine and I can login to the
machine. I then start ppp. However, no matter how I
setup ppp, I cannot get the routing to work. Yes, the
server side HAS 'gateway_enable="YES"' in rc.conf (the
machine routes for my network already).
I started with an old ppp config file that used to work.
It doesn't anymore. So, I started following the handbook
pages - even verbatim. But, the PC side always ends up
with something similar to the following:
----------------------
Active Routes:
Network Address Netmask Gateway Address Interface
Metric
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.201.2 192.168.201.2
1
127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1

192.168.201.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.201.2 192.168.201.2

192.168.201.2 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1

192.168.201.255 255.255.255.255 192.168.201.2 192.168.201.2

224.0.0.0 224.0.0.0 192.168.201.2 192.168.201.2

255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 192.168.201.2 192.168.201.2

----------------------
Notice that there is no 'next hop' (that is always the case,
not matter what ppp.conf looks like). The gateway address is
*always* the PC address, not the server. How can the packets
go anywhere with settings like that? It feels like there's a
bug in ppp where it sends the wrong address to the PC for what
its gateway will be.
Am I missing something? I've done this before - it was
working fine up until early-ish last year - and it was
a piece of cake. Now though, I can't get it to work to
save my life.
Can anyone help? It would be appreciated.
Thanks
Andy
ps A long time ago I sent email to Brian about this but I never
got a response.
pps For completeness...
