Hello All, after months of learning to live with a *really really* slow connection to the net I finally joined the 21st century with a Dsl connection. Having read up on how to connect my machine to the net I got the kernel re-config'd and went about altering the PPP.Conf and rc.conf file ( see below for details ). When I tried to connect it gave me all the encouraging signs but it would not actually connect it Hangs when I get the message "Starting PPP as "root" " or words to this effect ( trying for kernel PPP on FreeBSD 4.2R ). Two concerns. One, is running this service as root a good idea security wise ? Two, why does the machine not connect ? I followed the instructions to the letter. For what it is worth I am trying to connect to ATT Worldnet service - if that makes any difference. Any help is much appreciated. bash-2.04# cat /etc/ppp/ppp.conf default: set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command nat enable yes nat same_ports yes nat use_sockets yes set redial 3 28800 set reconnect 3 28800 PPPOE: set device PPPoE:vr0: set mru 1492 set mtu 1492 set speed sync enable lqr set lqrperiod 5 set cd 5 set dial set login set timeout 0 set authname XXXXXXX@att.ne.jp set authkey XXXXXXXX set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 add default HISADDR # Add a (sticky) default route enable dns # request DNS info (for resolv.conf) bash-2.04# cat /etc/rc.conf # This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf # please make all changes to this file. # Enable network daemons for user convenience. # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # network_interfaces="auto" ifconfig_vr0="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 -arp up" hostname="myhost.mydomain.net" linux_enable="YES" sendmail_enable="YES" moused_enable="YES" ppp_enable="YES" ppp_mode="background" ppp_profile="default" gateway_enable="YES" sshd_enable="YES" inetd_enable="YES" usbd_enable="YES" # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # ifconfig_vr1="inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0" hostname="myhost.mydomain.net" Thanks Luke =================================================== Unix IS user friendly it's just particular about who its friends ARE Even still we are not on speaking terms !!!!! ================================================== To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
