This is probably a problem with Bay networks but so far it seems to be unique to freebsd. My ISP upgraded to a new software level on their Bay network servers (rev unknown). Since this upgrade I can no longer be assigned (or specify) my static IP address. A Customer Service drone can log in as me using windows and get my static IP address however. Customers using linux and windows seem to be working just fine.. (doesn't linux use the same pppd package?) I *can* take a dynamically assigned IP address and networking works fine otherwise. If I try to strictly specify my IP address, LCP just argues back and forth about it until the remote side hangs up on me. One of the techs at the ISP said the Bay router seemed to not like something in the initial PPP negotiation. Sorry I don't have more useful information (like actual errors from the Bay or even the rev they upgraded to). I don't have administrative access to my provider's equipment. Since my mail will no longer work.. I won't receive any replies until I get back to work. :---==@==---==@==---==@==---: Joseph Beiter Hacking's just another word for nothing jwb@cosmic.org left to kludge.
