What ppp is asking for is the gateway of your ISP, not your IP address. If you include the line add 0 0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx <ISP's gateway> the -auto switch will work as expected. My IP address is dynamically assigned and this works fine for me. > > My only other alternative is to configure pppd, and for this the handbook > suggests using kermit... kermit doesn't seem to come with WC's FreeBSD 2.1R > CDROMs? The distribution terms will not allow it to be included on the CD. If you use the port (after you get ppp running correctly :-) ), it will pull the tarball from the distribution site and compile it. > Regards, > Adrian Chew > adrchew@pop.jaring.my Frank -- Only in America can a homeless veteran sleep in a cardboard box while a draft dodger sleeps in the White House. <unknown>
