Hi all!
I recently received my 2.2.1-RELEASE FreeBSD CD,
and installed the OS from scratch on my BSD box,
eliminating the 2.1.0-RELEASE I had there before (I
have backups of the data I really need to keep).
I'm not a UNIX ace but I made it through the pain
of getting the user-process PPP to work and dial up
my ISP on FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE, and I can get PPP
to dial and connect with my ISP on 2.2.1-RELEASE,
but I can't access the net ("no route to host").
It has been a while since I last tried to get PPP
to work, so I wouldn't be surprised if I've
forgotten something. Also, the html manual says
that before you begin you need to have (amongst
other things):
* the IP address of the ISP's gateway
* the range of IP adresses your allocated IP
address falls in, if your ISP allocated addresses
dynamically (which mine does)
The manual does not, however, tell you what to do
with these two bits of information. I also
couldn't find the answer in the FAQs.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks for any help,
Christoff Snijders
