Hi, I need some setup advice. I'm running 3.5R and have 2 NICs. My internal net is setup just fine and if I use ppp to a dialup to my ISP, I have not sweat connecting and working. Now, DSL is available and I just got the setup hardware from them. I've installed the DSL modem (Efficient Networks 5260) and connected it to my slow (10Mb) nic with a crossover cable. I see the ethernet is there light, so that's ok. Now for the questions. I'm unclear how to get the pppoe side working and how to get the packets over to my internal net. I see the option in the rc.conf to use the pppoed to start ppp with an isp_name argument. This looks like the right way to go. I still want to be able to get the dialup connect until I'm comfortable that the DSL will work. So, do I make a second ppp (ln -s ppp ppp1) and set it up in syslog.conf and newsyslog.conf for logging? Then, once I connect, can I use ppp's internal nat and ip-rules or do I need to go through setting up natd and ipfw? (My kernel is already set with the IPFIREWALL & NETGRAPH options.) Any advice would be greatly apprectiated!!!! Charlie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
