I have tried looking for answers elsewhere but have not had much luck. Yesterday received my DSL modem and walked through the suggestions for the dynamic IP setup at (www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/dsl.html). All seemed OK in the steps, yet my "ping"s still return "No route to host". I see with my CenturyTel DSL setup under Windows that they are using the PPPoE protocol. Does that mean I must configure FreeBSD in this manner? Since I don't get an IP or gateway can I still do it under PPP? Are there any other diagnostics I could run, besides ping, to see discover the problem? Links to solutions would be most appreciated! Many thanks in advance! -Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
