Try netstat -rn. If netstat -r is hanging, it's probably on the reverse name lookup. Which makes me think you haven't set up /etc/resolv.conf properly. Make sure you get the IP addresses of your ISP's nameservers there. Also, if you haven't already, disable routed in /etc/sysconfig. That's important. And, to echo the other responses, do NOT ifconfig tun0 in /etc/sysconfig (despite what the out-of-date and wrong handbook says). -jay Ian Wynne <ianwynne@zeta.org.au> writes: > Hello People: > > I'm setting up user land ppp on my FreeBSD 2.1.5R machine. > > The ppp connection works fine, when I dial my ISP the ppp dials up > and logs in nicely, and the ppp changes to PPP ON> showing the ppp > interface is up. > > The problem I'm having is a routing problem.
