Hi,
Thank you guys for your suggestions, and sharing your
experiences with me.
This time I deleted old /var/log/ppp.log file, and
I did modify /etc/ppp/ppp.conf - just the location
of ifaddr line is changed and some more logging
options set -nothing else is changed.
.
The file is this now:
/etc/ppp/ppp.conf :
default:
adsl:
set log Phase chat lcp ipcp ccp tun command lqm
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
set device PPPoE:fxp0
set mru 1492
set mtu 1492
set ctsrts off
set speed sync
set dial
enable lqr
set login
set authname <myusername>
set authkey <mypassword>
set timeout 120
set redial 0 0
# set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
# now this interface is set up at 2nd line in adsl profile
add default HISADDR
enable dns
nat enable no
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then I rebooted FreeBSD, in verbose mode enabled.
After it booted, I started ppp like this:
#ppp -ddial adsl
Here is the shell o/p along with verbose lines
/usr/sbin/ppp -ddial adsl
Working in ddial mode
Using interface: tun0
;verbose lines
tun0: buf attached

The /var/log/ppp.log file contents:
http://justpaste.it/1fcw
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is there some standard sequence for the contents of /etc/ppp/ppp.conf ?
I guess that may be the problem.
The bridge mode works fine in my Windows XP setup. Nothing special
to configure, just need to go to network connections and create a new
connection, using username and password.
In XP, I'm using DHCP too, so that I don't need to manually
confgure interface IP address.
That's why I'm sure that my network setup is not a issue. The issue lies
somewhere in FreeBSD configuration or somewhere else.

Mark,
what I meant to say is when we have, say a fresh FreeBSD install, then
the only service we have at expose is ppp. To be able to use mpd5, or
other ports/packages we first need to connect to internet then only
we can install/use mpd5. So, by default we are stuck at using ppp builtin
with FreeBSD. :(
By bridge mode I meant that <username> and <password>
are to be provided to OS, rather than storing them inside adsl modem.
PS: I sent this mail with /var/log/ppp.log contents yesterday but
it seems that list moderator rejected the post due to its large
size.
So, I'm pasting the link for contents of /var/log/ppp.log
