Can anyone help me with a couple of problems I'm having with User PPP?.
I set it up to dial into my ISP (the instructions in the FreeBSD
handbook are first-class BTW, I followed them from start to finish,
rebooted and dialled in first time - well done whoever wrote them ), and
it all works OK apart from one small problem, which is annoying more
than anything else.
When a connection is made I get the prompt "ppp on marder-1" (lower
case 'ppp'), eventually this changes to "PPP on marder-1" (upper case
'PPP') which, if I understand it correctly means that I am now logged
into the network. However I still get "host has no DNS entry" when I try
to access a Web page and "no route to server" if I ping the ISP's
nameserver. But, if I type "add HISADDR 0 0" at the ppp prompt
everything works OK. The entry in my ppp.conf is as per the example in
the handbook (except for the phone no. etc.) which includes the 'add...'
string. It would appear that it is necessary to wait before sending this
string, but I can't work out how to do this in the ppp.conf entry. Any
ideas?
My second problem is that I need to dial into the network at work. The
modem I dial into (USR Courier v.34) has the password set on it but I
never get to see the password prompt. In Windoze NT4 I simply cloned the
phonebook entry for my ISP, changed the phone no. and added the option
to pop-up a terminal window after dialling. The modems' password prompt
appears in this window, enter the password, dismiss the terminal window
and NT logs me into the network. How do I get to enter the modem
password using FreeBSD's user PPP?
Thanks in advance for your help.
