Date: Tue, 16 Aug 1994 18:27:43 GMT Lines: 31 When I attempted to use the version of PPP included with the May FreeBSD 1.1 CDROm from Walnut Creek, I encountered a numbers of problems. By chance, I discovered that the kernel on the CDROM didn't support PPP without recompiling. After this was accomplished, I discovered the version of PPP on the disk didn't implement all the features advertised in the man page but that more functional version was available at the archives under the 1.1.5.1 source tree. After compiling version 2.0.4 of pppd, one problem still remains. I am not able to have IP packets originating at the PPP client machine passed through the PPP server to its ethernet interface to the Internet gateway. I am recompiling the source for the 1.1.5.1 kernel now (you have to get the source for the 1.1.5.1 version of 'config' as well as the "sys.diffs.gz" file or the new kernel won't compile - this courtesy of respondents to previous requests for help). QUESTION: Will recompiling the kernel help or should I be looking elsewhere? Using the 1.1 kernel and 2.0.4 pppd I've tried using both the defaultroute and the proxyarp options separately, together and with both omitted. Once logged into the server host, I can telnet anywhere but directly from the PPP client everything seems to just disappear. I'm running a Western Digital 8003. Anybody else had this problem?
