Hi good people,
I am desperately trying to steer away from trying to
connection share my ADSL on a Win* ( star???) machine.
That is what FreeBSD is so good at (among a gazillion
other things). I have RTFM about pppoe and done the
following:
checked kernel and...
a) made sure tun pseudo devices exist
b) added options NETGRAPH
rebuilt kernel.

rebooted and checked devices exists...
a) fxp0
b) tun0
(c) I will add another internal network nic for this
gateway later! I just want to get adsl working first)

created a ppp.conf script as required.
plugged her in , ppp and...
a) initiated ppp shell (terminology correct?) ok
b) dial myisp
and the kernel page fault panics! Every time.
Seems to load netgraph and then caks it's underpants!

What I did to attempt to resolve...
a) checked kernal file was ok and I didn't screw up.
b) rebuilt kernel again...otherwise never panics.
c) check ppp.conf script
No worky!
Anyone struck the problem?
What do you need from me that would help you help me?
The machine had been using a dialup sharing setup and
it has not given me problems!
Trying to do ADSL with pppoe and YUK.
Any help is appreciated and a damn site more than I am
giving myself at the moment
Regards
Keith Spencer
Loser in cyberspace at the moment.
