hey there, I'm still having problems with setting up PPP on my FreeBSD 2.2.7 box. I followed the instructions in the FreeBSD online handbook to the best of my abilities and still can't get it to go. Well, I can get the terminal mode working, at least to the point where I can manually connect to my ISP, but I can't get the "dial provider" script to work at all. Oh yah, even after I manually login and connect and everything, something clearly is not working, because I can't get netscape to get to home. netscape.com here are the contents of my /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file: default: set device /dev/cuaa1 set speed 115200 set dial "ABORT BUSY NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK\\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" provider: set phone "isp phone # here" set login "TIMEOUT 10 \"\" \"\" gin:--gin: mylogin word: mypassword" set timeout 0 set if addrr 208.231.64.144 204.215.84.1 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 add default 204.215.84.1 enable dns FWIW, I took this file pretty much verbaitim from the FreeBSD handbook ppp setup pages. OTOH, I've never written a unix shell script in my life, so no, of course I don't know what I'm doing. The IP# my isp provided me with is 208.238.64.144 the gateway machine is 204.215.84.1 nameservers are 204.215.84.2, 204.215.84.100, 204.215.84.101 I made up other files too, again pretty much verbatium from the FreeBSD handbook (I made up an /etc/hosts file, for example). I don't want this post to go on forever,though, so I'd be happy to provide this info to whoever could assist me further. thanks in advance for all your help --alissa, the unix ultra-newbie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
