hello again,
i posted a message about a day ago, and i would usually wait a litle
while for responses before posting again. two people responded very quickly
and i thank them sincerely. A quick summary of my problem, I start up the
ppp program dial up my isp, and get a connection established, then i can d/l
about 200-300k of files before the connections is lost, not with the ftp
site but the carrier is dropped.
Stuff I have tried:
Changing every single setting in the configuration screen to every possible
thing I could think of.
1. I tried to set the gateway to allocated dynamically (0.0.0.0), and i had
a static address (205.252.116.61). Neither made any difference.
2. the DNS server works, because i can resolve the hostname (205.252.116.19)
3. Then the ip address for ppp0: i have tried
a. dynamic (0.0.0.0)
b. localhost 127.0.0.1
c. another address that i read about in a recent post, and someone was using
it to represent their local host (10.0.0.2)
***the last two setrtings (b&c) dropped carrier on connect, as soon as i
switched back into packet mode.*****
4. the netmask... i don't know exactly what it does but I called up my isp
and they gave me
a. 255.255.255.192 (i tried that.. but it only gives me 200k)
b. the default 255.255.255.0 (same as above)
c. and that one for class c networks like (0xffffff00 or something). That
one only gave me 30k.
5. The ifconfig.. I just left this blank, since i did not know what to do here
The two people that replied wrote the following:
#1:

>Sounds like a typical analog communication problem. Try either
>ftp2.freebsd.org or one of the japan mirrors (.jp)
I didnt quite know what an analog communications problem was but that was
okay, I tried the other sites anyway (as i had done before) but to no avail)
#2
>What does the debug screen say? Press Alt-F2 to see.
the debug screen says:
DEBUG: Generating /etc/fstab file
.
bin
bin/cat
bin/chmod
bin/cp
-------
that is all it says.
PLEASE HELP ME.... I cant take this anymore...
