Date: 31 May 1994 16:52:47 GMT Organization: INRIA, Sophia-Antipolis (France) Lines: 14 Distribution: world Message-ID: <2sfq0v$571@sophia.inria.fr> NNTP-Posting-Host: django.inria.fr Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Keywords: FreeBSD, pppd 2.0, ifconfig Hi there, I am running FreeBSD 1.1-RELEASE and have a couple of PCs connected thru tty00. I want to run pppd version 2.0 on the line. Almost everythimg works but the fact I must set (on both sides) the interface 'up' by hand -- 'ifconfig ppp0 up'. Upon starting pppd warns "Could not determine local IP address" on both sides but stays running. I set each ppp0 interface with correct (?) addresses, say 'ifconfig ppp0 inet slc100 slc401 netmask 255.255.255.240' on first host and 'ifconfig ppp0 inet slc401 slc100 netmask 255.255.255.240' on other. On both sides pppd 2.0 is started as '/usr/libexec/pppd passive /dev/tty00 115200' Thanks for any help -- J.-Patrick Giacometti, Full sig: finger jpg@pax.inria.fr
