I was attempting to configure my FreeBSD machine to function as a PPP router last night and was following the procedures laid out in the PPP tutorial. The machine is currently hooked up to a 9-port hub and runs on the LAN just fine. But when I attempted to run the ppp command it returned the following error: #ppp User Process PPP. Written by Toshiharu OHNO. OpenTunnel: Can't find ifindex. Jan 21 21:08:43 kamikaze ppp[299]: Error: OpenTunnel: Can't find ifindex. Jan 21 21:08:43 kamikaze ppp[299]: Error: OpenTunnel: Can't find ifindex. Jan 21 21:08:43 kamikaze ppp[299]: Error: OpenTunnel: Can't find ifindex. open_tun: No such file or directory # This error was after completing all necessary steps listed in the tutorial. The kernel is compiled for one tun device and it is listed when I run ifconfig...the only problem is that it differs slightly from listing I see everywhere else...here it is: #ifconfig tun0 tun0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 The one listed in the tutorial and in the handbook is: tun0: flags=8010<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 I could not figure out how to change this. I tried to remake the device with no luck...it still came up with the same thing. Any ideas?? Please copy my email address on the message, also, as I'm not subscribed right now...thanks.
