My mini-network is still not working! I have read and attempted to follow the "Pedantic PPP Primer". Here's what I've done: On Lose95 box: Added Linksys Ether16 LAN CARD. Lose95 recognizes it and loaded appropriate drivers from both the Lose95 CDROM and the Linksys disk. Here's a copy of the c:\Windows\Hosts file: [deleted Micor$oft comments] 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.2 ppp.best.com 206.184.160.196 bsampley.vip.best.com 204.156.128.1 www.best.com ---- Here's the info from the TCP/IP --> Linksys Ether16 LAN Card dialog box: IP Address: 192.168.1.2 netmask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 206.184.160.196 DNS Configuration: Host: ppp Domain: best.com DNS Server Search Order: 204.156.128.1 204.156.128.10 204.156.128.20 Binding: Client for MS Networks File and Print Sharing for MS Network I can ping only ping the lcoalhost. If I try a valid IP address Lose95 keeps puking up: Request timed out [repeated 5 times] If I try a named host like www.best.com it will just hang until ^C is entered. Telnet fails to connect to the FBSD box. Since both Telnet and ping fail I haven't bothered to try FTP. ______ On the real machine I have done the following: I've edited the /etc/sysconfig with the following: added de0 to the network_interfaces= line added: ifconfig_de0="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00" changed: gateway=YES from gateway=NO verified my host name is correct. Here's the output of ifconfig -a: bash$ ifconfig -a de0: flags=c843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:00:c0:5d:65:0e lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 206.184.160.196 --> 204.156.128.1 netmask 0xffffff00 sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552 ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 bash$ I can successfully ping the localhost, www.best.com and the Lose95 box from the FBSD side: bash$ ping ppp.best.com PING ppp.best.com (192.168.1.2): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=32 time=2.167 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=32 time=1.167 ms ^C --- ppp.best.com ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 1.167/1.667/2.167 ms bash$ bash$ ping 192.168.1.2 PING 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=32 time=20.236 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=32 time=1.206 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=32 time=1.184 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=3 ttl=32 time=1.188 ms ^C --- 192.168.1.2 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 1.184/5.954/20.236 ms bash$ and... bash$ ping www.best.com PING www.best.com (206.184.139.12): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 206.184.139.12: icmp_seq=0 ttl=252 time=228.680 ms 64 bytes from 206.184.139.12: icmp_seq=1 ttl=252 time=180.361 ms 64 bytes from 206.184.139.12: icmp_seq=2 ttl=252 time=190.344 ms 64 bytes from 206.184.139.12: icmp_seq=3 ttl=252 time=160.391 ms ^C --- www.best.com ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 160.391/189.944/228.680 ms bash$ Here's my /etc/hosts file: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain 206.184.160.196 bsampley.vip.best.com bsampley 192.168.1.2 ppp.best.com Here's my /etc/resolv.conf file: bash$ cat /etc/resolv.conf domain vip.best.com nameserver 204.156.128.1 nameserver 204.156.128.10 nameserver 204.156.128.20 Here's /etc/host.conf: bash$ cat host.conf # $FreeBSD$ # Default is to use the nameserver first bind # If that doesn't work, then try the /etc/hosts file hosts # If you have YP/NIS configured, uncomment the next line # nis What am I doing wrong????? User-ppp works fine form the FBSD box to best.com. Oh, BTW, the Ethernet cards are connected with a 50 ft thin coax cable w/ 2 'T' connecters and terminated on the ends w/ 50 ohm terminators. Other notes of interest: 206.184.160.196 is the static IP address wwww.best.com has assigned to me. 204.156.128.1 is the DNS and gateway address at www.best.com. I believe Best Internet Services is using FBSD on some of their boxes.
