X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.5 [en] (Win95; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "D.Schneider" Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: PPP dialup problems References: <001001bf145c$4c699d80$5943a8c0@GENOCIDE> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Your rc.conf should contain an entry for tun0 so with your rc that'd be network_interfaces="xl0 lo0 tun0" then ifconfig_tun0="ppp -auto provider" or better yet instead of the second line could be replaced by making the file start_if.tun0 which contains just ppp -auto provider Lots of good information on both userland and kernel ppp are in the handbook, I'll do you a favor and tell you that http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ppp-and-slip.html#USERPPP will take you to the precise spot you're looking for. Also, it doesn't look like you've tried to do anything on the net. Try pinging an external IP, or something that'll ask for an ip not on your lan. The point of auto is that it wont dial until it needs to. Then if it ever disconnects it should reconnect when you need it again. Hope that solves any problem you might have, RTFM next time, it's a wonderful resource.
