Hello.
I've installed FreeBSD 4.1 this weekend -- and it was actually veryy
easy.
Ok. I followed the instructions in the handbook, and got PPP almost
working... It dials, connects, but I couldn't set up the name server
properly, and I don't know what I did wrong. This is my home dial-up
box.
The problem is that nslookup reports my nameserver's address as
"0.0.0.0", and I can't resolve names.
The interface is set up properly, and I can ping IP addresses... But
no names...
And I'm not sure if this is related to the problem, but when I last
booted into BSD, sendmail complained about the host name. The message
was "My unqualified hostname (socrates) unknown; sleeping for
retry". I waited for a while, and since it did nothing, I had to hit
^C (and the boot process proceeded normally)
So, I was hoping someone could tell me what I've missed... Any help is
greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot,
J.
This is my /etc/rc.conf:
==
hostname="socrates"
linux_enable="YES"
moused_enable="YES"
usbd_enable="YES"
router_enable="NO"
sendmail_flags="-bd"
==
And this is /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup (mpc is the name for my provider in
ppp.conf):
==
mpc:
delete ALL
add 0 0 HISADDR
==
And in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, I have:
==
set device /dev/cuaa2
set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
set speed 115200
# This is actually one line, I've broken it for the sake of
readability when including in this message:
set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT OK-AT-OK
ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
set login
set timeout 0
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
add default HISADDR
enable dns
set authname pellegrini
set authkey Mt*s42?u
accept PAP
mpc:
set phone ISP-PHONE-NUMBER
set authname MY-LOGIN
set authkey MY-PASSWORD
==
And /etc/host.conf:
==
hosts
bind
==
And this is /etc/hosts:
==
127.0.0.1 socrates localhost
10.0.0.1 socrates
==
