--NGIwU0kFl1Z1A3An Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable People, I found this section in the handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/pppoe.html and it mentions a ppp.conf file like so default: set log Phase tun command # you can add more detailed logging if you wish set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 name_of_service_provider: set device PPPoE:xl1 # replace xl1 with your Ethernet device set authname YOURLOGINNAME set authkey YOURPASSWORD set dial set login add default HISADDR I'm confused. Why would I set an ifaddr when it's a PPPoE connection? I don= 't know what IP I'm going to be assigned yet.=20 What is ifaddr for? This is also surprising [msoulier@kanga ~]$ man ppp.conf No manual entry for ppp.conf Seems to be in ppp(8) though.=20 I'm just looking to use a PPPoE connection with my ISP.=20 Thanks, Mike --=20 Michael P.
