I have ppp (user space, from FreeBSD 2.1.6-R) working with my ISP, for manual dialing in each time using a simple script in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf. Note that my ISP provides me with dynamic ip addresses for her (HISADDR) and me (MYADDR). When I try on-demand ppp, with "ppp -auto provider" I get the following message: [I wish my middle mouse button worked so I wouldn't have to retype ;) ] % ppp -auto provider User Process PPP. Written by Toshiharu OHNO. Log level is 09 Warning: No password entry for this host in ppp.secret Warning: All manipulation is allowed by anyone in the world Using interface: tun0 Automatic mode Must specify dstaddr with auto mode. % thanks for any help! david David A.
