In your /etc/rc.conf, are you setting an IP address for the dc0 interface? If you are, then PPPoE won't work properly since the interface is already up and running. Check for a line that looks like this: ifconfig_dc0="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xfffffffc" If a line like this exists, comment it out (put a # sign in front of it) and then reboot. -- Matt ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alexis Georges" <floating_in_space_@hotmail.com> To: "Damian Gerow" <damian@sentex.net>; <freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2002 10:53 AM Subject: Re: Sympatico ADSL connection through a hub > thanks for helping damian..i did everything you gave me but it still doesn't > seem to work.. > here is what i have after doing everything, and typing ifconfig > > dc0: flags:88c3 <UP, BROADCAST, RUNNING, NOARP, SIMPLEX, MULICAST> mtu 1500 > inet6 fe80::2a0:ccff::fee1: 8be5%dc0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 > inet 10.0.1 netmask 0xfffffffc broadcast 10.0.0.3 > ether 00:a0:cc:e1:8be5 > media: Ethernet 10baseT/UTP > status: active > tun0: flags=8051 <UP, POINTTOPOINT, RUNNING, MULTICAST> mtu 1500 > inet6 fe80:2a0:ccff:fee1: 8be5%tun0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x7 > opened by PID 54 > > thats all i get..shouldn't i have an IP address somewhere other than the > 10.0.0.1..on windows i used to have 192.168.0.110(it will change since its > dynamic) , but it only shows the 10.0.0.1 one..on another computer in the > same home network, i got this info: > > netmask = 255.255.255.0 > default gateway = 192.168.0.1 > DNS server = 198.235.216.114 and 207.236.176.12 > > to see if it had worked i tried pinging an address of another computer on > the network and it just froze at the first "ping <ADDRESS> blahblah 56" > (something like taht).. > what wrong? > thanks again > > alexis > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Damian Gerow" <damian@sentex.net> > To: "alexis georges" <floating_in_space_@hotmail.com> > Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2002 5:30 AM > Subject: Re: Sympatico ADSL connection through a hub > > > > Spake alexis georges on 07/10/2002, 16:55:16 +0000: > > > This is my first message posted to the list..hehehe > > > anyways, i used to have a simple cable connection, which would be > > > automatically comfigured by FreeBSD upon installation..I just moved and > now > > > we have an ADSL connection (from Sympatico)..
