Hi.  I am relatively new to FreeBSD, but I have looked through the 
archives and not found the solution to my problem.

I am running FreeBSD 2.1.  I have followed the ppp user setup
instructions in the handbook, and I can connect to my ISP
by either manually dialing, or just issuing dial at the ppp prompt.

I can not make any network connection to the internet, however.

If I have ppp -auto running, when I attempt to use the network, 
there is no attempt by ppp to dial out.  My ISP gives me a dynamic
IP address, so I have used 0 whereve the IP address is needed.

I did see an old post that recommended deleting any routes with a 
destination of default and creating a new one, but this did not
work for me.

Also, after a couple of minutes, the route to tun0 is deleted because
of a timeout.

Any suggestions you can offer me will be greatly appreciated.

(I have rebuilt my kernel, so I am not a TOTAL newbie) :)
