I have two logins with Ameritech, one dynamically assigns the IP and one with a static IP. When I use the login for dynamic I connect and all works fine (using it now in fact). When I use the static login, in the interactive ppp program I get as far as two upper case P's and it drops. Ok, I figure they're not assigning the address on login so I'll put it in ppp.conf. I've tried all of these, none work: # set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 # set ifaddr 0 0 0 0 # set ifaddr 67.36.71.182 192.168.254.0-192.255.255.255 # set ifaddr 67.36.71.182/0 192.168.254.254/0 0 0 # set ifaddr 67.36.71.182 # set ifaddr 67.36.71.182 192.168.254.254 # set ifaddr 67.36.71.182/24 192.168.254.254/24 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 # set ifaddr 67.36.71.182/24 192.168.254.254/24 255.255.255.0 67.36.71.182/24 # set ifaddr $STATIC_IP $ISP_GATEWAY $ISP_NETMASK I comment out the ones I've tried so I don't keep trying the same thing over and over. They told me the address is 67.36.71.182 and the gateway is 192.168.254.254. I have all the forms of compressions disabled. Like I said, I can change the username and get a dynamic address. I've turned on all logging to local, here's the highlights after authentication: Physical: write Physical: 80 fd 01 01 00 0a 1a 04 78 00 01 02 ........x... Physical: write Physical: 80 21 01 01 00 10 03 06 43 24 47 b6 02 06 00 2d .!......C$G....- Physical: 0f 01 .. Physical: write Physical: c0 21 0a 00 00 08 4c 72 cd 1b .!....Lr.. Physical: read Physical: c0 21 05 df 00 04 .!.... Then as the last read statement instructs, it terminates. I've been thru RFC1661 to try and figure out what it's doing, or not doing. Does anyone have any ideas what may be wrong? I really hate to have to go and buy a router, I have much more flexibility with FreeBSD and I don't need another piece of hardware in that room! The version of FreeBSD is 4.1.1-REL but I upgraded ppp to include the built-in tcpmssd. Perhaps that has something to do with it?
