To: questions@FreeBSD.org Date: Wed, 19 Apr 1995 11:52:00 +0200 (SAT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 791 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, still trying to get the PPP to work: First questions: What does it mean when I get the following message: SIOCAIFADDR: File exists ??? This is what happens when I try to establish a ppp connection. Furthermore: The unknown protocol of 0x802b still does not want to go away even when I have checked the peer's settings which are set to use ipcp (and not ipxcp) After going through the ppp motions of dialing and logging in, when I in another session try to let's say telnet to a site then I get a host name lookup failure etc. And yet when I (in ppp interactive mode) do a show ipcp, I see that I am connected and have the correct IP addresses etc. So, what is going on? eT -- Etienne de Bruin, MIKOMTEK/CSIR, Republic of South Africa Somebody, Somewhere is gonna Praise His Name.
