Lines: 29 Message-ID: <31B3C2A5.6955@kuentos.guam.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: gecko.kuentos.guam.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0 (Win95; U) Hello; I work at an ISP, Kuentos Communications, and I have installed FreeBSD 2.1.0 on my PC at home. I have configured my PPP in accordance with the FreeBSD handbook. Well, I can dial in and connect but there is something rotten in the state of Denmark. Here are the details of the ISP: 1. must add a +ppp to the username when establishing a ppp session. 2. connect to a PortMaster 2e (made by Livingston Enterprises) first. 3. ISP is running BSDI 4. IP addresses are assigned dynamicaly. Here is what I get. I can connect and if I omit the +ppp I can have a single shell access session. But can have no others. A netstat -nr shows only the PortMasters IP address, my dynamic IP, and the localhost. If I login with the +ppp, it connects but I can not do anything. I show it connected but get told that there is no route to the host when I telnet or attempt to ftp. (This is true for my ISP's gateway, or anyplace else on the net for that matter.) Since everything is setup just like the handbook is there something else I am missing????? I am not new to unix, but am new to setting up the ppp, help..........
