Yeah, I'm doing this. Actually, I'm using ppp and them using the
set command to set "ifaddr 0 0" for dynamic IP addressing, and then
netcom gives me the PPP access, and BSD ppp even recognizes this and
initializes, so I think my problems lies with the nameserver addresses
in resolve.conf, or the configuration for tun0 in the sysconfig file where
it wants the gateway IP and the netmask, which I do not have for
Netcom.
Currently, I'm using the following DNS in the resolve.conf:
199.182.120.203
199.182.120.202
And in the /etc/sysconfig file I have the following entry for tun0...
ipconfig_tun0="inet zuul.demon.com 10.1.1.1 netmask 0xffffffff"
I'm pretty sure my problem lies with either the /etc/sysconfig
file, or the resolv.conf file....but I'm just not sure what to put in
there. Does this ring a bell?
Also about 2-3 minutes after I boot BSD I get a message saying that
it's "deleting route to interface tun0 (timed out)" if that helps? My
NIC also times out and is device ed0 (an SMC 8216C).
Thanks, everyone! Other than this problem, I'm having a wonderful time
with BSD!!!
