I've just set up FreeBSD 2.0.5 with a PPP link to an ISP. When I attempt to ping my machine at its PPP address, I get no response. Is this expected of PPP, or do I probably have something wrong in my configuration? I have set up a subnet so that other local hosts find the gateway on its ethernet port, but currently the resolver is reporting the PPP address as the primary address from the gateway itself. This is causing some network apps to fail. (E.g., I can connect Netscape to my http daemon if I use http://localhost/, but not if I use the real hostname.) Thanks, -Pat
