Greetings, we have a 3.2 box. We use it as a gateway to the internet. It is used to automatically dialup the link, and also to do IP aliasing. We are using the userland PPP. We have been having some problems since our ISP put in 56K modems. The behavior is: after using the internet from win9x boxes for a variable amount of time, the link seems to hang. IE, ping from the win9x box yields "request timed out". Log into the Freebsd box, ping the ip address of the ISP' DNS server, and it hangs with no response. BTW, If I try to telnet to the Freebsd, it never yields the login prompt. After a while (never the same amount of time), it 'comes back' and starts working. I have seen this on my 2.2.6 box with a different modem. Should the domain name of the Freebsd box be the same as the ISP's domain ? The ISP claims everything is AOK. The ppp log looks unremarkable. I'm not sure what to do next. Ideas ? Darryl Hoar To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
