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? =20 =20 =20 Thanks alot, =20 Sean Heiney (sean@owosso.net) ------=_NextPart_000_0024_01BD291E.6E1B9120 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META content=3Dtext/html;charset=3Diso-8859-1 = http-equiv=3DContent-Type><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 = HTML//EN"> <META content=3D'"MSHTML 4.72.2106.6"' name=3DGENERATOR> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2><BR> </DIV></FONT> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2>Hello,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2>I recentally set up FreeBSD(2.2.5-RELEASE) on my = home system.=20 In my efforts to set up ppp (dial up/dynamic ip address) I have got = pretty far.=20 I'm sure I have all my conf files setup correctally.
