Hello all! 
           Well, let get straight to the point. I use Bell Canada Sympatico Internet Service Provider, with a DSL connection, and I'm using FreeBSD-4.8-release. 

I've used FreeBSD-4.7 for a while, and sometime, when I installed, ppp wasn't working for user... unless one time, when I completely wipe my FreeBSD-4.7 partition and reinstalling it, it worked. Later, I deinstalled it and reinstalled it completely and it wasn't working. 

Now, I've move to FreeBSD-4.8-release and its still not working! I mean... it does work as root but not as a user. 

If I use internet with a user from the wheel group, it gives me that message: 

$ ping www.google.ca
ping: cannot resolve www.google.ca: Host name lookup failure

In order to make my connection work, I need to configure my /etc/ppp/ppp.conf along with rp-pppoe-3.5. 

-----Here is my /etc/ppp/ppp.conf: 
 
default:
  set log Phase tun command
  set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0

sympatico.ca: 
  set device PPPoE:vr0
  set authname *
  set authkey *
  set dial
  set login
  add default HISADDR



-----Here is my /etc/rc.conf:

hostname="FreeBSD"
kern_securelevel_enable="NO"
linux_enable="YES"
moused_enable="YES"
moused_port="/dev/psm0"
moused_type="auto"
nfs_reserved_port_only="YES"
sendmail_enable="YES"

usbd_enable="YES"
ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_mode="ddial"
ppp_profile="sympatico.ca"
ppp_nat="YES"                #I tried with it turned to "NO" also
inetd_enable="YES"
