setting up pppoe
People, I found this section in the handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/pppoe.html and it mentions a ppp.conf file like so default: set log Phase tun command # you can add more detailed logging if you wish set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 name_of_service_provider: set device PPPoE:xl1 # replace xl1 with your Ethernet device set authname YOURLOGINNAME set authkey YOURPASSWORD set dial set login add default HISADDR I'm confused. Why would I set an ifaddr when it's a PPPoE connection? I don't know what IP I'm going to be assigned yet. What is ifaddr for? This is also surprising [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ man ppp.conf No manual entry for ppp.conf Seems to be in ppp(8) though. I'm just looking to use a PPPoE connection with my ISP.

The original idea was, from my understanding, that you could specify your network, and would then only be assigned the host part of the address. Hence the /0, which specifies that nothing is network-part and you take whatever IP address you get assigned.

Problem setting up PPPoE in Release 6.0
I have a Netcomm NB1300 modem and a Realtek 8029 ethernet card and was successful at configuring PPPoE for this combination under R5.3. I've recently upgraded to R6.0 and cannot get things to work any more. I've played with all the options in the ppp.conf that looked relevant (and several that didn't) and I've compiled the NETGRAPH stuff into my kernel but still no go. I've googled but without success. I've tripled checked that I've got my username and password entered correctly. I know the modem is OK as I'm using it to post this (hooked up to a laptop with Windoze). I'm reluctant to return to R5.3 as I'm enjoying having a working sound card. However, I need internet access more. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm all out of ideas. Configuration details are below.

Configuration details are below. Thanks Barbara snip I have a similar setup: FreeBSD 6, Netcomm NB1300 Plus 4, Netspace. Occasionally it fails to connect while waiting for carrier, as yours seems to have done. If I try to connect again, it usually succeeds. I would suggest making a second attempt to connect, if that fails, power cycle the modem and try again. If it still won't connect, then there might be a bigger problem. I also have option set cd 10 in my ppp.conf that sets a 10 second delay waiting for carrier (FreeBSD checks for carrier once per second until timeout) - I don't know if that makes any difference.
