I am fairly new at *nix and FreeBSD. I am attempting to run a privately owned, publically accessible web server from a PC running FreeBSD 4.8. I configured ppp.conf and rc.conf for the *old* ISP settings (the ones that worked a year ago), and now they do now work. I cannot connect the machine to the ISP. Although PPP does enable, I cannot resolve any domains. The ISP is Bell-Sympatico (Canada), and they are completely unwilling to help me, or provide software that will accommodate *nix systems specifically. They do, however, have PPPoE software for Linux. Since I am new to FreeBSD, I do not want to try this software unless I know it will work ok. The software is available here http://service.sympatico.ca/index.cfm?method=content.view&content_id=1138&category_id=99 I have tried every possible option I could conjure-up with no avail. I have even exhaustively searched the FreeBSD Handbook and Man pages on-line, and other resources (such as Google) were no help. I thank you for any help yous' may provide to me. I am running short on time and patience in getting this system on-line. If this should have been send elsewhere, please let me know. ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
