Hello! I just set up my freebsd 3.0-release system by downloading everything through an ethernet connection at work, but how do I configure it so that I can have both my ethernet connection working, and my modem connection working when i'm at home (where my computer is going to be 99% of the time). I'm using kde, and the kppp dialer to connect, I believe I have set up the connection correctly, as it is very similiar to the win95 one. However, when I try to connect it gets to "starting pppd" and just stops there and times out. Heres a copy of my routing table which so far has only been set up for ethernet: pat# netstat -nr routing tables internet: destination gateway flags refs use netif expire default 207.159.73.1 ugsc 0 0 ed1 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 uh 0 0 lo0 207.159.73 link#1 uc 0 0 ed1 207.159.73.1 link#1 uhlw 1 0 ed1 I was under the impression that the kppp dialer would automatically add the necessary entries permanently, or at least temporarily that I added in upon setting up the connection. Also, four my default gateway (207.159.73.1), that is a router, which is my gateway when i'm on the lan at work, but when I dial in (I work for the isp), would my default gateway become the ip of one of our racks of modems (207.159.73.7 , 207.159.73.9)? And, if this matters, I have a static ip, 207.159.73.33, and my host name is pat.expresshost.com. Please get back to me with any suggestions...
