Running FreeBSD 2.2.7 Release, no upgrades on this machine (all software from CD). I've followed the PPP primer on FreeBSD's site. Trying to setup a gateway machine at home with ppp -auto -alias. If I run PPP interactively with my old settings, all works fine (settings are made for dynamic IP's). If I setup ppp.conf with the "bogus" info needed for -auto, as mentionned in the primer (makes sense since the program won't start without) and I try the script in interactive mode, it gives a few error messages (trying to get the server running so I can use pppctl, which still hasn't worked for me) it simply doesn't work at all. It sets the default route to the bogus address and doesn't change it to the actual address (ppp.linkup as per the primer, and is the same as for interactive mode). So now I've determined that the auto-mode settings don't work with the interactive mode. I've tried the auto mode using the above command (ppp -alias -auto autoMyISP) but when I try to connect to the net, nothing happens. I've tried ping, nslookup, ftp, Netscape, and nothing has triggered PPP to dial out. I've followed the primer to what I considered to be word for word, and for me it's not working right. What have I done wrong? I'm sure this has something to do with routing options. My firewall is set to open until I can debug this, and I've only tried connecting from the FreeBSD machine (rest of the LAN is Win98). I'll tackle the LAN once I get it to work on itsself...
