i seem to have managed to get my DSL connection established with ppp, finally. the german T-Online how-to page got me up and running with that. when i dial in with ppp, i get a PPP prompt, ie. all caps, which i presume means that i have a functioning connection. now i just have to figure out why i cannot browse, but i haven't started examining this problem yet, because i noticed something strange: at some point ping started returning this error: ping: sendto: Permission denied to my knowledge i am not running a firewall like ipfw (nothing related to firewalls in rc.conf), i *am* logged in as root, and the above error message is even returned when i ping localhost! it does the same for my local network card. i suspect something in my ppp fiddling to have done this, because it did work properly earlier (much earlier). does anyone have any ideas not related to firewalls or not being logged in as root? thanks, c To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
