You should find information in a section labeled "PPP OVER TCP and UDP (a.k.a Tunnelling)" in ppp(8) man psge and references explaining PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) further on in the man page. From tht you will have to use ehat information that the service provider has supplied in order to configure ppp over you configured ethernet connection. I found for wou a page that will probably help you with this connection a little using the address: http://www.altavista.com/cgi-bin/query?sc=on&hl=on&q=%2Bpppoe+%2Bfreebsd&kl=XX&pg=q and came up with: http://sympaticousers.org/faq/freebsd_howto.htm Hope this helps. > > Thank you > > Thomas Herman > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- Regards, Kevin G.
