I've been digging through the FAQs, etc. - with no luck yet. I'd
appreciate it if someone could confirm my assumptions in the ppp
options file.
Beyond that - I think I understand that the route should be established
automatically, correct? I can't ping xxx.xxx.xxx.PPP :{
xxx.xxx.xxx.PPP
yyy.yyy.yyy.PPP | xxx.xxx.xxx.NIC
----- ppp0 ------- ed0 ----
'net<->| ISP |<-PPP-> |FreeBSD|<-LAN->| WS |
----- ------- ----
IPS gave us yyy.yyy.yyy.ppp
and our own range of IPs xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
/etc/netstart
..
ifconfig ppp0 xxx.xxx.xxx.PPP
/etc/ppp/options ppp Host options
crtscts # Hardware flow control
defaultroute #
netmask 255.255.255.0 # netmask ( not required )
xxx.xxx.xxx.PPP:yyy.yyy.yyy.PPP # ip's of local and remote hosts
# local ip must be different from one
# you assigned to the ethernet ( or
# interface on your machine.
# remote IP is ip address that will be
# assigned to the remote machine
domain xxx.com # your domain
passive # wait for LCP
modem # modem line
Thanks for any helpful hints.
