Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk After scanning through more mailing list and news archives than I would've liked, I have to admit that I have no idea why I can't telnet/ping the ip address which is assigned me (dynamicaly) by my isp. (I would like to telnet into this machine from outside- i.e. school) I'm running FreeBSD 2.1.5R. I have my domain and bother nameservers (205.219.162.3 p, 204.70.128.1 s) in /etc/resolv.conf. I have localhost and the name of my stand-alone computer in /etc/hosts. I'm not running any routers (that I know of!), and /etc/host.conf calls hosts and then bind. The only thing I'm worried about is that I did not use the gateway address my isp gave me anywhere! (It's 205.219.162.1) Here's my "netstat -rn" output: -- Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 206.103.15.2 UGc 1 0 tun0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 0 lo0 206.103.15.2 206.103.15.27 UH 2 0 tun0 -- Something should be traveling through localhost, I guess- but clearly isn't. Here's my "/etc/ppp.conf": -- default: set device /dev/cuaa1 set speed 115200 disable lqr deny lqr set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATZ OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 30 CONNECT" set login "TIMEOUT 5 login:-\\r-login: harpo.ppp word: MYPASSWORD" set timeout 0 # ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 # delete ALL # add 0 0 10.0.0.2 (I've tried adding the above- it just makes things worse-i.e. slower. Incidently, this computer is free standing- not hooked up to ethernet, etc) javanet: set phone NUMBER1 dial javanet2: set phone NUMBER2 dial -- Finally, here's my "/etc/ppp.linkup": MYADDR: # delete ALL add 0 0 HISADDR # add MYADDR 255.255.255.0 127.0.0.1 (I've also tried using to commented out lines and changing the netmask to 255.255.255.255) --- I've also tried setting sysconfig's "tcp_extensions" to "NO." I appologize for the length of this message. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks, John Szumowski (harpo AT javanet DOT com)- my return address is deliberately incorrect; sorry
