[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello, I have setup a connection to the internet from my network using ppp with the help of the Pedantic PPP Primer. Although this primer is good at helping setup a connection nothing is mentioned on how to close a connection. What I am trying to achieve is: A user on a windows operating system connected to the LAN can dial to the internet through my FreeBSD server. at present this is possible by them simply typing in a URL in their browser. The modem dials when this is done. Now when the user wishes to be able to stop browsing they should be able to click on a button or something of the like, similar to the way windows provides a disconnect. Has anyone been able to achieve this and if so please how? I do not wish the user to be able to dicsonnect by using the FreeBSD Server directly. The idea is that the FreeBSD Server will sit in a corner doing its thing while the users use their windows pc's. Thanks, Ivan [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.3315.2870" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have setup a connection to the internet from my network using ppp with the help of the Pedantic PPP Primer.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Although this primer is good at helping setup a connection nothing is mentioned on how to close a connection.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What I am trying to achieve is:</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A user on a windows operating system connected to the LAN can dial to the internet through my FreeBSD server.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>at present this is possible by them simply typing in a URL in their browser.
