Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-isp@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I was attempting to set up and configure my machine to use the user PPP program. When I boot the machine--with the current network configuration-- I get the following: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ . . lo0: flags=8009 mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 tun0: flags=51 mtu 1500 inet 0.0.0.0 --> 206.124.64.253 netmask 0xffffff00 add net 0.0.0.0: gateway aether.one.domain writing to routing socket: File exists add host aether.one.domain: gateway localhost: File exists starting routing daemons: routed. . . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I was attempting to connect to a GTE dialup account. Their gateway address is 206.124.64.253. This ISP uses dynamic IP address allocation. What causes the "file exists" error? Also, when using the ppp program in manual mode; I get "write: file exists". Thanks for your help Robert jdejonge@gate.net
