We have a small LAN about to be set up on a DSL connection which is activated. The LAN is currently sharing an ISDN Internet connection (not used for incoming remotes). The gateway machine (192.168.0.1) is running Win2K. There are several Win2K stations on the LAN and a couple of FreeBSDs running 4.4, on manually assigned. The DSL is an external modem via PPPoE. The LAN is connected via Hub. Each box has a RealTek 8139 on device rl0. We want to install the DSL in one of the FreeBSD boxes (192.168.0.202) to use with the DSL (and change to the gateway in place of the Win2K). here's how the ifconfig -a looks now: ********************************************************************* rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::240:33ff:fe57:92dd%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 192.168.0.202 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ether 00:40:33:57:92:dd media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552 faith0: flags=8000<MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 ********************************************************************* A second NIC card (D-Link DFE-530TX+) will be added for the DSL modem and it loads as device r11 (without modem connected yet). The "tun" devices are made and ready.... and 4.4 loads netgraph support I believe without need to build into the kernel. QUESTION: Does anyone listening have a similar setup as planned above...DSL PPP over PPPoE with two NICs (1 for the modem and 1 for the LAN) and if so, may I see your ppp.conf file... and what else should I worry about? I have read all of the many papers/guides (including Renaud Waldura's paper). Any added tips would be VERY welcome as I really want to use BSD rather than Win2K..... many t Best regards, Jack L.
