> I was a moron... thanks for the help my problem was my IRQ was set improperly... okay now I've got some more questions though... I am setting up a network on an ethernet... and I want to allow everyone access to the PPP connection I'd make via modem off one of hte computers running FreeBSD... but the querks are that I would like to link together 2 modems on the same copmuter connecting to the same ISP... and everyone on the network would like to use ICQ from their own computer... for the ICQ problem I thought a socks 5 server was the way to go, but I don't know if this will allow for multiple people using ICQ at once... and could I use MPPP for this and how do I use MPPP?

Posting in ascii would be nice :-]
I believe your best bet for ICQ is to use some sort of proxy. If ICQ
reckons it can be used thorough a socks proxy, it should work for as
many machines as you want.
WRT MP, ppp(8) is your friend. There are examples in
/usr/share/examples/ppp/ too.
