    I am using FreeBSD 4.0    I've been able to get a dialup connection
working, but I can't my ADSL account running under 4.0.

History:

I have followed and executed all directions stated in Chapter 16.4 of
the Handbook that came with the 4.0 package.
I added the specified entries to the Kernal Configuration file.
I have compiled the kernal.
I have set up the ppp.conf file per the handbook.
    The only changes made were--  default:snet.net  (name of my service
provider)
                                                    set device PPPoE:dc0

     I did insert my user-id and password into the authname and authkey

I have set up the rc.conf file per the handbook.
    Under ppp_profile I again entered my service provider:
ppp_profile="snet.net"

When under root, I execute:   ppp -dedicated + Enter

I get the following message:

Working in dedicated mode
Using interface:tun0
Warning:No default entry found in config file.


ADSL PPPoE will not function.  What is missing?  What else needs to be
configured?  Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.  I have
called up my ISP's tech support, but as I'm sure you can imagine, they
don't get involved with anything but Windows.

Also, I have seen other poeple recently post regarding their mouse being
disabled when they return from the bash shell in another console.  I too
am getting this after running the "ppp -dedicated" command in a bash
shell and then returning to my KDE desktop on another console.  I then
have to execute "halt" and reboot in order to get my mouse working
again.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Mike
