X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hey there... I can get ppp to connect, and work perfectly for about 3-4 minutes, then after that it just disconnects - for no apparent reason. I can be telented into another server, and it will still disconnect me regardless. What could be wrong? Also, I can get my cd-rom to be recognized using a 2.2 boot disk, but 2.1.6, and 2.1.7 both will not see it. It is an atapti (something like that) cd-rom. FreeBSD 2.1.6 will see it if it is a slave on my primary ide, but then the cd-rom drive will not sync up with the maxtor drive I have. So I am forced to but it on secondary ide. How can I get 2.1.6/7 to see the drive? If anyone has any ideas on this, I would very much appreciate any help you could provide. -Justin Fitzhugh justin@next.kkjj.com
