I have a static IP address on my DSL circuit at home, with a 3Com 3C905 series NIC card, I just installed the NIC like any other and configured the IP information and I was up and running. There is no need to use PPP at all, the DSL modem acts as a network interface. There shouldn't be any traps that you could fall in, as this is all pretty much straight forward.

I had a sneeking feeling that I was making some bonehead mistake. Perhaps a couple more questions might point to my errors. First, does the sample ppp.conf in the PPPoE section of the handbook work as is (with the obvious user id & passwd changes, of course)? What changes have people made to it for their setups to work? Any obvious (or not so) traps people have fallen into? Second, what should the ifconfig_xx line in rc.conf read for the NIC being used for the DSL connection? Thanks again for the help. I'm relatively new to FreeBSD so this has been a learning experience. :) Leo -- On Sat, 19 Feb 2000 22:07:38 courtney wrote: > > >you shouldn't have to run anything special, BA infospeed is just a NIC card >with the external blue or white DSL modem i have it all set up and working >just fine. > > >bernie > > > --== Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ ==-- Share what you know.
