i've just installed freebsd 4.4 release from cd on dual boot (win 98) machine. seems to be working fine. this is my first experience with any type of unix and i'm feeling my way. naturally one of the first things i've tried to do is get online. i've used the handbook, freebsd basics, freebsd unleashed and i'm stumped. i tried the script route but it wouldn't work and i'm not figuring out why so i thought to kiss and try a manual logon. i'm using a Creative Modem Blaster on com1. i go into ppp. set the device, go into term mode. tell it to dial. no problem it dials out, connects (usually, my isp sucks) and i get the following PROTOCOL:LAPM Username: - i enter it Password: - i enter it Line has invalid autocommand "ppp 199.224.64.28" NO CARRIER and that's it. i guess it's trying to assign an ip address to the connection but nothing i've read mentions anything about LAPM or this kind of problem. i checked the kernel and it is using tun0 ok, so i know it's not that. all help will be greatfully accepted. thanks Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
