FreeBSD actually can support truely un-numbered routing.. however I'm not sure how it would be implemented in this case. (it's done with a command somewhat like "route add default -interface tun0" (I haven't done it for a while) however it still leads to problems because locally generated packets will still have the address negotiated, and if that is not correct packets can still not get back to you.. it sounds as if your ISP has gone from static addresses to dynamic addresses, which means that you should check that you are allowing the ppp daemon to negotiate everything, and are not specifying too much. julian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
