Let me resolve that one. I am on the Bell Atlantic network. I do have to use PPOE, and Alexander's configurations were right on the money. I had a little bit of a hiccup with configuration of the nic because I didn't realize it would be ok for it to be configured without an IP. Now it looks like everything works fine. Now to get all my startup scripts working with PPPoE. I have a number of things that have to be done based on the IP, netmask, broadcast address (which I can't seem to find in the ifconfig output) and it all has to be automatic and smooth when the IP changes. I've also noticed that I can't seem to send to the FreeBSD server for some reason. It may be because the verizon IP doesn't resolve. I don't know. I guess I need to tweak the sendmail config.
