If you install a NIC, you won't need ppp, unless you ISP does PPPOE, which is different and has a slightly different configuration process. > My second question is, the tun<#> command.

No. Each card will have its own device (fxp0, or de0, etc) depending on what driver in the kernel it requires. You configure these directly, you won't need a tun device unless you're using PPPOE, which is (again) different configuration than standard PPP. What kind of NICs do you have? Look through the file /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT to see what drivers they use and make sure they're showing up in ifconfig. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
