Yes... I've set up a 'ppp -auto' to an ISP that uses dynamic IP addresses... here's the ppp.conf file: default: set device /dev/cuaa0 set speed 115200 disable lqr deny lqr set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATZ OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0M0 OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" set debug phase lcp chat # demand-dial settings for bogomip internet bogo: set phone 01714608200 set login "TIMEOUT 25 name:-\\r-name <blah> word: <blah> * ppp\\sdefault" set timeout 900 set redial random 10 set ifaddr 195.1.1.1/0 194.1.1.1/0 add 0 0 194.1.1.1 And my ppp.linkup file: bogo: delete ALL add 0 0 HISADDR set debug phase I run PPP with: ppp -alias -auto bogo Then line comes up when I try to ping a host from anywhere on my network to somewheree not on my network - my networked hosts having their default router set to the FreeBSD machine. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scot Elliott scot@poptart.org Tel: +44 (0)181 9322042 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Public key available by finger at: finger scot@poptart.org or at: http://www.poptart.org/pgpkey.html On Fri, 19 Sep 1997, Greg Lehey wrote: > On Fri, Sep 19, 1997 at 09:41:49AM +0000, xiyuan qian wrote: > > PS.
