[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello, I recentally set up FreeBSD(2.2.5-RELEASE) on my home system. In my efforts to set up ppp (dial up/dynamic ip address) I have got pretty far. I'm sure I have all my conf files setup correctally. I've double checked them. I set up my script to connect to my ISP, and it works. It will go into packet mode and successfully connect. At this point, I type "shell" in the ppp program after I dialed, to be able to execute commands while in the same terminal. As far as I know, when I'm connected, FreeBSD doesn't know that I'm connected. When I try to "ping rs.internic.net" or any other server, I get an error message along the lines of "host not found" or "destination not reachable" or something like that. I'm not sure of the exact error message. The point is that I can not contact any other hosts while I'm connected. I have my nameservers setup right, and my resolv.conf, and every other conf file according to the FreeBSD handbook on PPP setup. What are the possible causes of this problem? Thanks alot, Sean Heiney (sean@owosso.net) [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META content=text/html;charset=iso-8859-1 http-equiv=Content-Type><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <META content='"MSHTML 4.72.2106.6"' name=GENERATOR> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><BR> </DIV></FONT> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2>I recentally set up FreeBSD(2.2.5-RELEASE) on my home system.
