index | next in thread | raw e-mail
Hello all,
I'm using PPP under 2.1.5 to connect to my ISP. I have my own
C-Class but currently it is trashed as PPP under freebsd seems
to not give you the option to set the netmask!! I have looked
through the manuals with no help. I have made many guess attempts
in the config files to see if it had any effect NADA!
Anyway, what I need is to change the following
---
ifconfig tun0
tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 203.16.241.10 --> 203.8.105.10 netmask 0xffffff00
---
so the netmask is 0xfffffff8.
If anyone knows how to do this I would love to know!
My config follows
---
default:
set device /dev/cuaa1
set speed 57600
disable lqr
deny lqr
set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK
\\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
iis:
set phone xxxxxxxxx
set login "TIMEOUT 5 username:-\\r-username: planetx word: xxxxxxxx
Number 1"
set timeout 9999
set ifaddr 203.16.241.10 203.8.105.10
add 0 0 203.8.105.10
#### set netmask 255.255.255.248 THIS DOES NOT WORK!
---
If anyone knows the syntec to effect the netmask above please HELP!
Thanks,
James Gardiner
