I was running into the above problem last week with ppp. I found the source of the error message and changed my /etc/hosts table; and my /etc/sysconfig file as well. It was a few days before I tried ppp and discovered that things were hosed! Long-story-short, after further hacking, I fixed at least part of what was wrong. (( Not entirely clear how...but I'm learning.)) Could you (or another network-savvy wizard) publish sample /etc/hosts, /etc/sysconfig, and /etc/network files? Else point me to a tutorial doc? ...Your second message gave me further/other clues: > [/etc/hosts] > 127.0.0.0 localhost 127.0.0.1 > 10.0.0.0 eac.iafrica.com eac 10.0.0.1 You can't have a `host-part' that is all-bits-zero; it's reserved for other uses. > [/etc/sysconfig] > ifconfig_tun0="inet eac.iafrica.com 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00" In my /etc/hosts I've got 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.thought.org 128.95.3.70 tao.thought.org tao to indicate that for my *local* site (a fake network for now), I am 127.0.0.1, and when I am connected via SLIP or PPP to the net, I become 128.95.3.70. Is this correct? or, more to the point, will this configuration make sense to my FreeBSD software and work otherwise?? Thanks for any words of wisdom! gary kline >
