Anyway, I've just tried to get ppp going with tun0 and I think I'm prepared to give up and go with what I know and try straight pppd instead. The routing seemed to be wrong with tun0 as no packets were going out. Also, what's putting all that traffic over the wire when I'm not really using the link? Did anybody else choose to do the same? The way I'm use to setting things up is like this. assining a bogus ip address to my machine. such that my hosts table looks like. 127.0.0.1 localhost 255.255.255.255 broadcasthost 206.55.3.15 news1.mnsinc.com news1 news 192.42.172.1 steffi.mnsinc.com steffi 192.42.172.1 is totally bogus... ifconfig -a reports. lo0: flags=869 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000 en0: flags=63 inet 192.42.172.1 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.42.172.255 ppp0: flags=10 ppp1: flags=10 NOTE: en0 I only should be telling ppp what my internet address is... /etc/hosts should need to know about this. When the link is down netstat -rn reports. steffi:33# netstat -rn Routing tables Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Interface 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 2 255 lo0 192.42.172 192.42.172.1 U 4 807 en0 When the link is up Routing tables Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Interface 199.164.210.1 206.239.33.180 UH 0 0 ppp0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 6 287 lo0 206.239.33.180 127.0.0.1 UH 0 0 lo0 default 199.164.210.1 UG 1 9 ppp0 192.42.172 192.42.172.1 U 6 898 en0 so I'm going to copy this configuration over and I'm assuming it will work. I'm thinking perhaps the kernel needs to be configured to use pppd or a loadable module must be loaded? -- "For I am Costanza, lord of the Idiots" (PGP key: send email with Subject: request pgp key)
