The first one probably means that your ISPs data link protocol uses some commands that ppp doesn't support or vis-versa. The next two indicate a routing problems. It could be that your ISP uses 192.168.* addresses in their internal routing. In which case, you may have duplicate addresses on either side of the gateway. (That would be a problem, and is a major reason why people need to quit playing around with nat and get IPv6 working.) Try a traceroute from this box to somewhere like www.freebsd.org and see if you're routing through addys in the 192.168.* range. The other possibility is that your routing is simply misconfigured and the netmask indicates one thing, while the actual network layout is different. -Bill > Jul 26 20:55:38 delphinium ppp[46228]: Phase: deflink: HDLC errors -> > FCS: 12, ADDR: 0, COMD: 0, PROTO: 0 > Jul 26 20:55:42 delphinium /kernel: arp: 192.168.1.12 is on xl0 but got > reply from 00:80:48:db:6a:0c on xl1 > Jul 26 20:56:03 delphinium /kernel: arp: 192.168.1.2 is on xl0 but got > reply from 00:04:76:71:b3:79 on xl1 -- It may be that true happiness is nothing more than the ability to *always* know the right thing to say at the right time, whereas true misery is the state of perpetually saying to oneself, "What I *should* have said was..."
