I know this is for NetBSD, but they're oh so close...
I'm running FreeBSD 2.2-960323-SNAP. It all runs fine, but I can't
seem to configure the on-demand dialup properly. I can run
ppp and dialup, get the dynamic IP address and all that, but
I cannot set it up to perform user on-demand dialup.
Here is my /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file (part of it anyway):
my.isp:
set phone 1234567
set debug all
set login "TIMEOUT 5 login:-\\r-login: myaccount word: mypassword"
set timeout 120
set ifaddr 0 123.456.789.10 255.255.255.0
add 0 0 123.456.789.10
This is a sample of my /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup
my.isp:
delete ALL
add 0 0 HISADDR
Obviously the hard-coded IP address is representative of my known
ISPs gateway. In this case it is a given, although I know some
ISPs that do change this also.
Why is is that when I do 'ifconfig tun0' it always remains 0.0.0.0
as my address? Why isn't it changing it? And I have verified that
the login was successful, and the ISP system is talking PPP (it
passed the login stage).
Thanks for any help...
