They use dynamic IP address. I follow the FreeBSD handbook instruction and setup the PPP configuration files. After I dialed out and did a ping and ftp, it sent the packets but didn't receive any packets back. My /etc/hosts has 127.0.0.1 localhost 0.0.0.0 myhost.domain Because I don't have a IP address, I put a 0 in and it doesn't like this address. Please give me some advices to make this dynamic IP address work. Thank you very much.
