Hi gang; I used ijppp to install freebsd-2.1. This marks the first time that i have been able to install freebsd sans floppies! WORKED EXCELLENT!! YOW! So, obviously, i can hand start ppp and use the term part and dial up and go. Once i try to automate this, such that i have a configuration file with an entry called uw: and try to use "ppp uw" and "dial", i no longer have net access. weird. I get "dial OK!" and "login OK!" but never anything about "using Packet mode" or the "~" u get when u type PPP at the remote command line in "term" mode. The server i am logging into has dynamic addressing and the possiblity of using several ip's for both the server and my end. I used the techniques listed in the man page to specify a requested server and user ip, and when i type "show ipcp" i get the requested ip's. But none of my net apps ( telnet, etc ) run. Since i get a hostname lookup failure and i have the dns in my resolv.conf, i assume i have no net. so, if anybody out there in questions land has a config file they are using with a dynamic ip addressing scheme, i would like to see it. I suspect i am missing some command that starts packet mode from the config file, but i have not seen anything about that in the /ppp/*sample files tnx! ******************************************************************************* John Utz spaz@u.washington.edu idiocy is the impulse function in the convolution of life
