Greeting and salutations, my everyday idyll has recently been interrupted while I was trying to set up my FreeBSD box as a gateway. It has an ISDN card for connecting to the Internet and an ethernet card for connection to the rest of my network.
First, I had to recompile the kernel to enable support for my ISDN card(W9662 chip) as iwic0. Then came the tweaking of several configuration files. Finally, I tried establishing the connection as follows: wier# ppp Working in interactive mode Using interface: tun0 ppp ON wier> dial papchap ppp ON wier> after the "dial papchap" command I just get hte ppp prompt back. Shouldn't it be informing me about the status of the dialing? the command "ifconfig tun0" says: tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 Opened by PID 54 What am I doing wrong, am I using the correct procedure to establish a connection? I want to establish only one 64k link. I am using FreeBSD Release 4.7. Here are my configuration files: <<< /etc/ppp/options >>> /dev/cuaa0 115200 crtscts modem passive noipdefault defaultroute <<< /etc/ppp/ppp.conf >>> default: set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE) set device /dev/i4brbch0 set speed sync set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \ \"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" set timeout 180 # 3 minute idle timer (the default) enable dns # request DNS info (for resolv.conf) papchap: set phone ISP_NUMBER set authname MY_USERNAME set authkey MY_PASSWORD enable lqr set reconnect 3 5 set redial 3 10 set lqrperiod 45 disable pred1 deflate mppe deny pred1 deflate mppe set dial set login set logout set hangup set ifaddr 0 0 add default HISADDR <<< /etc/isdn/isdnd.rc >>> system acctall = on acctfile = /var/log/isdnd.acct useacctfile = yes isdntime = on monitor-allowed = off entry name = WBDU0 usrdevicename = rbch usrdeviceunit = 0 isdncontroller = 0 isdnchannel = -1 local-phone-incoming = MY_NUMBER remote-phone-incoming = * local-phone-dialout = MY_NUMBER remote-phone-dialout = ISP_NUMBER remdial-handling = first dialin-reaction = ignore dialout-type = normal b1protocol = hdlc idletime-incoming = 900 idletime-outgoing = 900 unitlength = 0 unitlengthsrc = conf dialretries = 1 dialrandincr = off recoverytime = 1 direction = out <<< /etc/resolv.conf >>> nameserver MY_ISP'S_NAMESERVER nameserver MY_ISP'S_NAMESERVER2 <<< /etc/rc.conf >>> hostname="wier" network interfaces="lo tun0" ifconfig_tun0= ifconfig_rl0="inet 10.10.10.1" gateway_enable="YES" kern_securelevel_enable="NO" moused_enable="YES" moused_port="/dev/cuaa1" moused_type="logitech" nfs_reserved_port_only="YES" sendmail_enable="NO" router_enable="NO" sshd_enable="YES" ppp_enable="YES" I spent 7 hours trying to configure this box as a gateway with an ISDN connection. Could someone provide me with some clue or hints as to where I am erring. -- "I get high on a buzz Then a rush when I'm plugged in you I connect when I'm flush You get love when told what to do Wonderful electric Cover me in you" _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
