I am trying to set up user PPP on my freebsd computer.

I have my isp IP address as 199.1.13.9
	      gateway as 199.1.13.45
		netmask  255.255.255.224

I edited sysconfig file, and put it hostname=user1.channel1.com  (which 
is my isp name server)
	network_interfaces="lo0 tun0"
	ifconfig_tun0="inet user1.channel1.com 199.1.13.45 netmask 0xffffff00"
							
what's the hexadecimal value for 255.255.255.224?
the vaule I put in is 255.255.255.0

	then I chaged routedflags=-s 

and I wrote the ppp.conf 
	default:
		set device /dev/cuaa1              (my modem is on com2)
		set speed 57600			   (my modem is 28,800)
		disable lqr
		deny lqr
		set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" 
ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
	provider:
		set phone *******
		set login "TIMEOUT 10 gin:-BREAK-gin: **** work: *******"
		set timeout 300
		set ifaddr 0 199.1.13.45


because my isp assign dynamic IP address and fixed gateway.

what should I put in for ppp.linkup file???

when I restart the computer 
my computer's ip address became user1.channel1.com, why??
I am not on any local network.
and when I run ppp, it dials ok, connects ok. and I type it "add 0 
199.1.13.45 HISADDR"
but then I try to telnet to somewhere, is doesn't work, tells me that 
hostname lookup failed.
