I am trying to setup a user PPP connection to my Netcom Netcruiser 
account.  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.
