I have a server that was running 2.2.2 and one night the server was turned off (not shutdown properly). Upon restart the server developed a problem with the hard drive that fsck was unable to fix. I decided to do a low lever format on drive, which is an IDE drive. I then installed 2.2.7 on this machine. 2.2.7 installed without a hitch. The function of this machine is to use ppp for dial out internet access for a group. Now the machine is back up and running but ppp doesn't work. When I start ppp it just hangs for about 2 minutes and then gives me the prompt back. My ppp startup line is "ppp -auto -alias htc. htc is the ISP that I use. Ppp works when I take the network card out of the machine, but it hangs when the card is there. No hardware has been added removed or changed in this machine since it ran 2.2.2. I repeat NO hardware has changed. I know that there were changes to ppp, but where they that huge? I have looked at the man page but I don't see a whole lot that's different. Here is the run down on the machine: 486 DX/2 66 32 megs of memory 1.2 Gig Maxtor HD 3c509 NIC Diamond SpeedStar 64 (OLD) Monochrome Monitor 3 1/2 Floppy IDE CDROM USR Sportster 28.8 External Thanks, Ray ---------------------------------------------------------------- Midwest Information Systems http://www.midwestis.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ray Seals Network Engineer rayseals@midwestis.com Direct Dial: 314.930.0479 Office: 314.423.8377 Fax: 314.423.3944 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "Providing clear vision to the future" ---------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
