(Have been setting up for a while now...) I'm running PPPoE through an 8-port hub to my ADSL modem. I connect to th= e=20 Internet just fine.=20 (Thanks to "Cheaper Broadband with FreeBSD on DSL" by Renaud Waldura= , =20 http://www.daemonnews.org/200101/pppoe.html) There are also several other boxes on this network, including Windows ME = & 98=20 systems. The Windows boxes are visible to one another as peers in a=20 workgroup. Have attempted to set up networking on the FreeBSD box using PPP - Pedant= ic=20 PPP Primer (www.freeebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/ppp-primer/index.h= tml)=20 which is "assumed to be relevant for FreeBSD 2.2+".=20 - Have created and verified a hostname in my rc.conf file.=20 - Have verified the ethernet connection is up and happy. - Have created /etc/hosts file with all nodes identified and IP addresse= s assigned in the 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2, ... series. - Have pinged localhost and confirmed it is working as it should. When I ping my FreeBSD box, assigned 192.168.1.1 IP address in /etc/hosts= , it=20 is identified by the system with the ISP-assigned dynamic IP address, ins= tead=20 of 192.168.1.1 and all packets are lost.=20 The instructions in the Pedantic Primer are: "If the IP address...is not= =20 192.168.1.1...return to Section 2.4 adn review your entires in '/etc/host= s'.=20 Have done this, and the entries are as instructed. Can't see any other boxes on my network (have updated the Windows/hosts f= iles=20 also for the local IP addresses). What have I done wrong?
