Hey all,

I installed FreeBSD 2.2.8 freshly about 2 hours ago. ( I know it is old, I
was gonna CVS the 3.1 sources and make world tonight until I hit this
problem.)

I can dial my ISP and connect.  I get an IP address assigned to me, and the
route is set properly.  I can't seem to get anywhere.  I had the identical
problem with linux and never found a solution.  ppp gives me alot more
information than pppd so I am pursuing this one
more aggresively. : )

When the problem was encountered with linux I talked to the ISP owner.  He
is a friend from school and organizer of the local Linux users group.  He
said he could see me logged into the terminal server, but could not ping my
machine from the terminal server.

Hardware:
3Com USR 56k Fax Modem v.90

uname:
FreeBSD 2.2.8-RELEASE #0: Mon Nov 30 06:34:08 GMT 1998
jkh@time.cdrom.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC

ppp.conf with authkey entry stripped for obvious reasons, the ISP uses PAP:

default:
 set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
 set device /dev/cuaa2
 set speed 115200
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0
OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"

wireco:
 set phone 9759061
 set login
 set authname wintermute
 set authkey RealAuthkeyHere
 set timeout 120
 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
 add default HISADDR


I can connect:

vertex# ppp -ddial wireco
Working in ddial mode
Using interface: tun0

tun0 seems ok:
vertex# ifconfig tun0
tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	inet 206.107.119.79 --> 206.107.119.8 netmask 0xffffff00

Get the route to the remote machine, everything looks ok:

vertex# route -n get 206.107.119.8
   route to: 206.107.119.8
destination: 206.107.119.8
  interface: tun0
      flags: <UP,HOST,DONE>
 recvpipe  sendpipe  ssthresh  rtt,msec    rttvar  hopcount      mtu
expire
   16384     16384         0         0         0         0      1500
0

Get the route to the DNS at my school, everything looks ok:

vertex# route -n get 151.141.4.7
   route to: 151.141.4.7
destination: default
       mask: default
    gateway: 206.107.119.8
  interface: tun0
      flags: <UP,GATEWAY,DONE,STATIC,PRCLONING>
 recvpipe  sendpipe  ssthresh  rtt,msec    rttvar  hopcount      mtu
expire
   16384     16384         0         0         0         0      1500
0

Now try a traceroute to the remote, route is there just can't get to him:

vertex# traceroute -n 206.107.119.8
traceroute to 206.107.119.8 (206.107.119.8), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
 1  * * *
 2  * * *
 3  * * *
 4  * * *
 5  *^C

Here is the extract from /var/log/ppp.log of some things I don't understand
for this session:

After I authenticate and get an IP address this set of messages is repated
multiple times.

Apr  8 02:11:46 vertex ppp[375]: tun0: CCP: deflink: RecvConfigReq(3) state

Any ideas would be great.  Everyone I have spoken with is stumped by this
problem.  The ISP works well (I am using them from a windows box to write
this message).

I am not subscribed to the list so a CC to my address on these responses
would be GREATLY appreciated. :)
