Please, anyone familiar with DSL static IP setup.... I need help, please!!! I am dead in the water without DSL connection. BTW, I'm running FBSD 4.5-release Yesterday, I upgraded my DSL basic (with dynamic IP) to enhanced DSL that now has a static IP. Ever since the changeover, I cannot connect when before it worked fine as dynamic basic DSL with dynamic IP. I thought I knew what to change in the ppp.conf and the rc.conf files, but I cannot connect and am dead in the water since 3:00pm yesterday. I have checked with support (they don't support UNIX and don't have a clue) and they at least confirm that the DSL is switched over and is live... they can ping my modem. I tried everything I can think of in the ppp.conf/rc.conf but nothing works. The debug shows attempt to dial, then 5 seconds with 4 tries, then disconnect... over & over.... I use the tun0 device which is launched when ppp is enabled. Here's the interfaces, the tun0 is there at bottom but no IPs: ================================================================= rl0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ether 00:50:ba:ae:fd:01 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active rl1: flags=8843 mtu 1500 ether 00:40:33:5b:bb:5f media: Ethernet 10baseT/UTP status: active lp0: flags=8810 mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 ppp0: flags=8010 mtu 1500 sl0: flags=c010 mtu 552 tun0: flags=8011 mtu 1500 Here is my PPP.conf file: ======================================================================= PPP.CONF default: set device PPPoE:rl1 # External NIC for modem set mtu 1492 set mru 1492 set speed sync set ctsrts off set log Phase tun Chat Connect Warning Error Alert #set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 # was this for dynamic IP set ifaddr 65.71.135.137 65.71.135.142 255.255.255.248 #info for static IP add default HISADDR myconnection: # Profile set in rc.conf.file for auto set authname myusername set authkey mypasswd NOTE: on the "ifaddr" line, the first IP is my new static (primary), the second is the ISP's "default" and last is the netmask given. ============================================================== ...and here's the rc.conf stuff that applies: RC.CONF hostname="mydomain.com" ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00" # Internal to LAN ifconfig_rl1="media 10baseT/UTP up" # external connected to modem ## PPPoE for DSL ppp_enable="YES" ppp_mode="ddial" ppp_nat="NO" ppp_profile="myconnection" ppp_user="root" ========================================================================= Again, someone, anyone.... please advise where I have messed up.... or if need other info.... thanks for helping!!!
