I'm trying to set it up for a dynamic ip number on tun0 (using cuaa3). I followed the instructions in FreeBSD's online handbook for setting up user ppp to the best of my ability, and it says I'm connected, but when I try to do anything, like telnet, it pauses for about a min or so then gives me a "host name lookup failure" or some such. I have been working on this for the past few days and am fed up with it. If anyone knows how to do this, or knows where some more documentation is on this subject, please let me know. Thanks Jake T. jatray@jove.acs.unt.edu
