First of all, when I choose COM2 the PPP program always defaults to COM1. OK, when I change it to /dev/cuaa1 and give the term command logging into my Unix account goes as usual. Then I start SLiRP and the 'ppp' prompt appears then changes to 'PPP'. The second problem is that the sysinstall can't resolve the name of the ftp server I picked. I have tried different servers and numerous SLiRP options including its internal addresses, disabling/enabling pap,chap,pred1 and dns etc. At this point I decided to be clever and picked 'other server' from the list. Well, the address I gave to sysinstall evaporated and it tried to log in 4.33.3 which is the end of the ip address I gave to be the gateway! I have searched FAQ and handbook but can't figure this out. Could someone please help me. I really need FreeBSD up and running again.
