I am having problems with both PPP and PPPD in FreeBSD 2.1.6, and am totally lost. I have researched the man pages, followed the tutorial on www.freebsd.org/tutorial/ppp, been helped by people in #freebsd on IRC, and even talked to tech-supt at cdrom.com to no avail. For PPP: I setup /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, ppp.linkup, ppp.secret, and /etc/resolv.conf with the correct information. I go into PPP, and start the term -- I can log in fine, and the PPP session starts. Netstat -rn returns that a defaultroute HAS BEEN ADDED. Unfortunately, no outside systems are reachable, and I can't even ping localhost anymore. Without PPP running, pinging localhost works just fine. For PPPD: I setup /root/pap with my username and password, /etc/ppp/options for the PPPD options, and /etc/ppp/connect for chat. PPPD will dial and and the modem will connect; however, I get the ambiguous error "cannot setup a connection". I've tried +ua to get it to login PAP, and get the same error. I have modified that chat file (/etc/ppp/connect) and tried every possible login combination, and have yet to succeed. To make matters worse, -d and debug don't seem to work -- the only output to /var/log/messages is "cannot setup a connection". Now, after three headache-ridden days of utter frustration, I am nearly bald. Does anyone have ANY ideas what could possibly be going wrong??
