Hi all,
My tata-photon (huawei) modem works painlessly on Win XP. Every
setting is auto (including getting the nameserver). The auth protocol
is CHAP. But when I boot into FreeBSD 8.0 (stable), and run 'ppp -auto
pmdemand' followed by 'ping [1]www.google.com' (or yahoo or any other
site, for that matter), I always get "Hostname lookup failure". BTW, I
don't have an /etc/resolv.conf. I only configured ppp.conf (please see
below for details). Can someone please help me set up the modem so
that I can dial out and connect to the internet from my FreeBSD box ?
Thanks in advance.
Manish Jain
This is my ppp.conf :
default:
set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
allow users guru bourne
# ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE)
set device /dev/cuaU0
set speed 115200
set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \
\"\" AT OK-AT-OK AT&FE0V1X1&D2&C1S0=0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40
CONNECT"
set timeout 180 # 3 minute idle timer (the default)
enable dns # request DNS info (for resolv.conf)
pmdemand:
set phone "#777"
set login
set authname "internet"
set authkey ""
set timeout 0
disable ipv6cp
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
add default HISADDR
accept CHAP
