I'm trying to get my dip connection to the university working again (after having upgraded from 2.2.7->3.1). After a frustrating Sunday spent trying to get this working (modem works, dials in, log's in, get's IP numbers but I can't ping anything apart from the machine I dialled into), I have two questions: 1) Can anybody confirm that the dip port works on FreeBSD 3.1? 2) What does "return code 256" from ifconfig mean? Most importantly, is it an error message? Thanks, Lawrence. +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Lawrence Commander, Tel: (+44) 0171 419 3990 | | Research Fellow, Fax: (+44) 0171 387 4350 | | Dept of Elec.
