I had to ignore the part of the handbook that described setting up an ifconfig_tun0 line in /etc/sysconfig and add my internet service provider's (ISP) name server in /etc/resolv.conf. These two steps will allow ppp to configure the tun0 device the way it needs to and tell ppp where to look to resolve names/ip addresses. This is assuming that you also have the set ifaddr 0 0 in your /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file. Todd Huss (huss@emba-news.uvm.edu) wrote: : I'm trying to use User Space PPP with FreeBSD 2.1.0.

If it's switching to packet mode though isn't the ppp : connection pretty much established? Thanks for any help or suggestions. : -Todd : -- : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ : thuss@moose.uvm.edu : huss@emba.uvm.edu : Todd C.
