I have configured PPP and can dial out and connect to the ISP. I have added the ip address of the primary and secondary DNS to /etc/resolv.conf. When I try and ping an address on the net I get a lookup error, then when I try and do a nslookup the system can't reach the nameservers - network unreachable. I think this is a routing problem as the DNS (203.2.193.124) are on a different network from the terminal server(s) that I connect to when I dial in and there is no route in the routing table. Also the handbook explains that the gateway address is needed to correctly configure the system for PPP. I have my windows 95 system configured to dial-in to the same isp and it is configured to use the "default gateway on remote network" Is there a way of setting up freeBSD to use the default gateway? thanks
