I've got a PPP problem (FreeBSD 2.2.2). I can start the PPP utility and then end up with a dead blank. After about two minutes, the connection is broken by the ISP (their timeout 180). If I switch to my Win95 drive and login to the ISP, everything works fine. In the ppp.conf, I followed the tutorial example substituting my login name and password in the right places--so that part of the script works. After a short time first I get "Dial Ok!", and then after the script is just about finished I get, "Login Ok!" After that, the ISP will not accept the typed in commands: ftp, telnet, or http. I get "what ?" as an answer. I also tried telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xx with specific numerical entries. I called the tech support at earthlink (the isp) and they mumbled something about configuring the "resolv.conf" file in /etc/resolv.conf -- thinking that FBSD was linex. These are the entries they suggested: nameserver 206.85.92.2 nameserver 206.85.92.60 nameserver 206.85.92.79 However. When, with PPP running I type, 'show xxx' (I forget the particular command) I get: myaddr: 38.28.29.229 hisaddr: 38.1.1.1 Oslink: 38.1.1.1 So. Negotiating my address and the ISP addresses seems to work. I also did "show syslog" and found the authentication was okay. But I need to somehow send the ISP a name resolve server address so I can telnet, ftp, and http to work. Somehow, the dial up program in Win95 manages this. How to I do the same thing in FBSD?
