I decided to totally trash my install and reinstalled 2.2.2-RELEASE, using the site at freebsd.cdrom.com to grab everything from. Install went great, no problems at all, except for one thing.. I did everything exactly the same I did on the previous 2 installs, except now my PPP dialup to my ISP refuses to function. I can dial up and connect fine, and everything appears normal, including name service lookups, but regardless of the destination, I get NO ROUTE TO HOST. Seeing as I did everything the same way, I am confused why it worked fine the last 2 installs and refuses to this time.. The only thing I can think of, is in the sysinstall network setup, where it asks for domain, ip, etc. the first time I ran it, I filled in everything as normal, but I don't remember getting the question from sysinstall that asks for the Internet Address of my Internet Service Provider, and to enter "0" if you want the connect to be negotiated automatically. Where does sysinstall put the "0" if you want to autonegotiate? I looked at my routing table in PPP, and it looks ok, but I didn't see a route to the gateway on the Terminal Service I was calling in on. I saw local routes from my machine to the Terminal Server I dialed it to, etc.. Any suggestions would be most helpful. NOTE: I am using PPP in interactive mode until I get a script working, so keep that in mind, please.. The only thing that really bugs me is that it worked PERFECTLY the last two installs, and this time, nada.. Todd
