Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm a newbie, and I think I've followed the www.freebsd.og/handbook/handbook218#513 guidelines correctly, for configuring ppp, it connects, and the connection has been verified by my ISP, who confirms that the systems connect, and I get through the authentic ion procedure, and then my system seems to just sit, and eventually, one or the other times out, and the connection gets shut down. in short, I connect, login in, password, and the curser rolls down one line, then nothing Even when I have X running, and Netscape active it tells me that it cannot find any URL's because the 'DNS' is unavailable. What should I look at next? Thanks in advance to anyone who responds. dg Dick Griffin - At Home in Arlington VA, 703-685-0032 - At Work in Washington DC 202-260-4079 - "Whether you think you can, or think you can't; you're right!" - "Our children's dreams are our future!" - "The paradigm shift that is the web has altered forever what education is."
