I am using FreeBSD 4.0 I've been able to get a dialup connection
working, but I can't my ADSL account running under 4.0.
History:
I have followed and executed all directions stated in Chapter 16.4 of
the Handbook that came with the 4.0 package.
I added the specified entries to the Kernal Configuration file.
I have compiled the kernal.
I have set up the ppp.conf file per the handbook.
The only changes made were-- default:snet.net (name of my service
provider)
set device PPPoE:dc0
I did insert my user-id and password into the authname and authkey
I have set up the rc.conf file per the handbook.
Under ppp_profile I again entered my service provider:
ppp_profile="snet.net"
When under root, I execute: ppp -dedicated + Enter
I get the following message:
Working in dedicated mode
Using interface:tun0
Warning:No default entry found in config file.
ADSL PPPoE will not function. What is missing? What else needs to be
configured? Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. I have
called up my ISP's tech support, but as I'm sure you can imagine, they
don't get involved with anything but Windows.
Also, I have seen other poeple recently post regarding their mouse being
disabled when they return from the bash shell in another console. I too
am getting this after running the "ppp -dedicated" command in a bash
shell and then returning to my KDE desktop on another console. I then
have to execute "halt" and reboot in order to get my mouse working
again.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Mike
