Use the correct > numbers. 193.175.26.94 --> 193.175.26.65 netmask is 0xffffffe0, the primary ether interface is 193.175.26.33. Indeed, there's been a second machine using the .94 local address (but with a different remote) at the same time, but this used to work all the time before, since the interface are POINTOPOINT. Attempting to login via pppd a second time didn't work either. Same problem, but the pppd logs something like ``ioctl(SIOCAIFADDR): Address already exists''. Btw., logging in with another address (i've got assigned two, for different machines) works. Dunno if it will work twice without rebooting, this is just my first attempt. > 2) The old route (or perhaps interface address) for the address you > are configuring did not get deleted when it was last dropped. Make > sure to delete it. The interfaces have been properly deleted. ifconfig -a shows only entries for currently active if's. All dead if's are one-liners. Btw., is FreeBSD 2.0.5 w/ TCP extensions supposed to communicate with FreeBSD 2.0.5 w/o them? Seems that it didn't work. :-( -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
