I have been trying to set up my ppp connection to my ISP. I took the advice of the people on this list and read the handbook pages on ppp on the free bsd homepage. I actually got pretty far. I can now connect to my ISP but it disconnects within about 30 seconds. I have dynamic IP adress assignment and thought I followed the directions correctly in preparing my files in the etc/ppp directory. I had to actually make the etc/reslv.conf file before I added the entries. Was I supposed to do this or is this file not needed. Anyway if anyone has any suggestions I would much appreciate it as to where I can start looking for the problem that is causing my dropped connection. Thanks Alot Rick Knebel rknebel@postoffice.ptd.net
