Hi I'm new as a FreeBSD user, and trying to configure my pppoe connection. After reading handbook and searching on various forums, I prepared the ppp.conf file, and tried starting the ppp via # ppp -ddial adsl Here 'adsl' is the profile name, in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf. I also tried #ppp -auto adsl but the error message was same. The tun0 interface is created, but when is tried pinging to well known sites, e.g. yahoo.com, etc. it says: "can't resolve hostname." It seems a DNS issue first, but when I put my adsl modem in non-bridged mode, I was able to connect to any site. The IP address allocated to my PC is via DHCP, so no special configuration was needed in modem's non-bridged mode. The problem arise only when I put adsl modem in bridged mode and tried dialing via ppp. My network schematic is: PC <-----------------------> ADSL modem <-----> Internet 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.1 DHCP is enabled in adsl modem. I'm pasting my related configuration files if they can help. Please tell me if any other files are needed. /etc/rc.conf hostname="jacklappy" ifconfig_fxp0="DHCP" sshd_enable="YES" moused_enable="YES" powerd_enable="YES" # Set dumpdev to "AUTO" to enable crash dumps, "NO" to disable dumpdev="AUTO" hald_enable="YES" dbus_enable="YES" routerenable="NO" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /etc/resolv.conf # Generated by resolvconf nameserver 192.168.1.1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- /etc/ppp/ppp.conf default: adsl: set log Phase tun command set device PPPoE:fxp0 set mru 1492 set mtu 1492 set ctsrts off set speed sync set dial enable lqr set login set authname myusername set authkey mypassword set timeout 120 set redial 0 0 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 add default HISADDR enable dns nat enable no ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ifconfig output: fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=2009<RXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,WOL_MAGIC> ether 00:16:d3:0c:42:22 inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active fwe0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=8<VLAN_MTU> ether 06:e4:0a:1b:50:36 nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> ch 1 dma -1 fwip0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 lladdr 6.e4.a.0.28.1b.50.36.a.2.ff.fe.0.0.0.0 nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384 options=600003<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6> inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x9 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=80000<LINKSTATE> inet 10.0.0.1 --> 10.0.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00 nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> Opened by PID 1907 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- fxp0 is the ethernet interface of my PC via which adsl modem is connected.
