Hi heres my question when i installed FREEBSD2.2.7 It asked me if i
wanted
to do additional network setup. i hit yes thinking this is how i will
be able to
configure ppp to reach my ISP and cruse the internet.None of this has
taken
place yet.Im starting to feel like i should of answered no to that
Question.
Another thing is i noticed in reading the man pages it says when i
type at the
command#ppp it should say pppON<AWFULHACK: somthing like this.Mine
just says pppON> and i know this isnt right.Is there a way to reverse
what i did
and start over.Im just going to be a single user that wants to use
FREEBSD 2.2.7
to surf the internet "Nothing" fancy Heres is what i see on boot up if
this helps:

Doing initial network Setup:hostname
ppp0:flags=8010<POINTTOPOINT,MULTICAST>mtu1500
lo0:flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST>mtu16384
     inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000

writing to routing socket:Network is unreachable
add net default:gateway 0.0.0.0:Network is unreachable

Doing additional network Setup:portmapybindypbind:domainename not set
Aborting
I hope this helps a little? I cp all my etc/ppp/ppp.sample stuff where
they should go.  so that part should be OK! One more Quick Question
in my /etc/ppp.conf file i copyied to the pmdemand pap or chap
to myname which i think is my name i use to my ISP
my key i put my password i use to login to my ISP
Can you tell me if i did this right It was a little confusing what to
put there exactly? I have all my ISP information available if i need
to redo it

            Thankyou in Advance PS! Ive read the man pages and sill
not getting it!
