Recently I have been adding more - a scenario which is probably seems familiar to many. I noticed during debugging that despite the fact that my system works excellently I can't directly ping my tun0 IP address. When I do there is no route found. If the link to my ISP is up then I can ping it, I guess because their router knows where I am. I can ping my ethernet board on the local network by IP Adress, so my machine does have the ability to route to its own interfaces. Is the ppp interface different than the others or is there a configuration screw up somewhere? I am using user ppp. I have disabled routed. FreeBSD 2-1-6. TIA Brian PS (Or maybe AK for Ass Kissing) You guys who have done all this work are great.
