I recently downloaded the freebsd 4.0 iso image and burned it onto a cd. Previously I had 3.4 and it ran fine, no problems with the exception of a small ppp problem, which is why I decided to give 4.0 a try. That and I had to change out a HD that was going bad :). well, it installed fine (minor partitioning problem on my part) and I set it up to be my gateway, setup the ip for it, could ping it and all that from my win boxes. Seeing all this was good, I brought up ppp something like this: ppp -nat ppp on>set device /dev/cuaa1 (modem is on com2) ppp on>dial can not open device /dev/cuaa1 bad link (or something to that effect). so, i quit out of ppp, go into /dev and do a ./MAKEDEV tun* cuaa* go back into ppp and it does the same thing. I do a ./MAKEDEV all and go back to ppp, same thing. any thoughts? any help would be appreciated. the minor problem i was hoping to resolve with ppp is this: i play Rouge Spear online with a friend of mine. I setup the ports so that if it came through on X port number, send it to my machine. i run ppp -nat -auto <isp> when i run it through auto, it doesn't alias the ports correctly. it also leaves old ips around, the mask on one is 0XFFFFFF the other is 0XFFFF00 (or something to that effect). Before, it was leaving all stale ips around, so I checked up on some stuff and found that creating a ppp.linkdown would fix it...it fixed part of it :)....cleans out all but 2. the odd thing is that all this works if i don't use auto IE: ppp -nat <isp> ppp on>dial all is fine.
