I still don' get why FreeBSD is having trouble connecting via PPP. Seems to be a specific problem. There is no general problem with PPPoE on FreeBSD. I am trying every combinations that might work, but still no luck. Any help will be appreciated. Try to limit variables as much as possible. Control one thing per time. I'm posting my config files. The statements in comments are those that I already tried enabling them. ## /etc/rc.conf hostname=jacks_lappy #ifconfig_fxp0=DHCP #ifconfig_tun0= ifconfig_fxp0=inet 192.168.1.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 #ifconfig_fxp0= Is this IP inside your network? In my old setting, I had defined the IP for the NIC connected to the modem as 192.168.0.1, but my own network (and therefor also the 2nd NIC in the machine) in 192.168.1.* - I don't know if the first could have been omitted, just doing =up for the NIC connected to the modem. sshd_enable=YES moused_enable=YES powerd_enable=YES # Set dumpdev to AUTO to enable crash dumps, NO to disable dumpdev=AUTO hald_enable=YES dbus_enable=YES No problem here, not related. routerenable=NO This option does not exist. See /etc/defaults/rc.conf for a list of them. I haven't used that option in the working setup. #defaultrouter=192.168.1.1 Correct - I also did not define a default router. ppp_enable=YES ppp_mode=ddial ppp_nat=NO ppp_profile=adsl ppp_adsl_unit=0 I've also not used the last parameter. The tun0 interface would have been generated automatically. Everything implies that the _kernel_ has all the neccessary functionality enabled (tun interface, PPPoE related netgraph modules and NIC support). I tried to specify tun0 interface explicitly, but still no luck. No need to do so. When I start ppp using: service ppp start It shows tun0 is busy. Which is correct. ## etc/resolv.conf #Open DNS nameservers: nameserver 208.67.222.222 nameserver 208.67.220.220 Those are OpenDNS resolvers. I've been using two provided by my ISP, and also ran named myself later on. ## /etc/ppp/ppp.conf default: set log Phase chat lcp ipcp ccp tun command lqm set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 # set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0 nat enable no adsl: set device PPPoE:fxp0 #set device PPPoE:tun0 set mru 1492 set mtu 1492 set ctsrts off set speed sync set dial enable lqr set login set authname myusername set authkey mypassword set timeout 120 set redial 0 0 add default HISADDR #enable dns Why not try a minimal configuration? myispname: set device PPPoE:fxp0 set authname myusername set authkey mypassword set dial set login add default HISADDR That should be everything which is needed. For better diagnostics, add your custom options (like lpr or redial) later on.

This time I tried both approaches: assigned an IP address explicitly to fxp0, and then no explicit assignment to fxp0. I'd leave fxp0 unset until you've fixed the other problems - it's not necessary for PPP. Modems and routers in PPPoE bridging mode don't normally require any adjustment or other access so there's probably no need to assign address anyway. I still don' get why FreeBSD is having trouble connecting via PPP. The original problem you quoted was with DNS and that's explained by the DHCP on fxp0 overwriting resolv.conf with the router/modem's own non-functional DNS proxy. As regards ppp.conf mine was simply: default: set log Phase tun command adsl: set device PPPoE:vr0 set authname my username set authkey my password add default HISADDR ppp_adsl_unit=0 I tried to specify tun0 interface explicitly, but still no luck. When I start ppp using: service ppp start It shows tun0 is busy. Don't try to specify the tun device number. I've noticed in the past that occasionally tun0 becomes unusable and ppp will switch to tun1. I've seen this happen when I've been restarting ppp a lot. From my understanding it shoud not matter whether fxp0 is assigned the ip address via DHCP server on local lan or via manually - at least this concept works on windows. But in FreeBSD, if I enable dhcp on fxp0, then /etc/resolv.conf is created each time I boot in FreeBSD, so the only nameserver being 192.168.1.1, ie adsl modem ethernet interface. Even if I edit it to include nameservers of my ISP or OpenDNS this file is created each time FreeBSD boots, and these entries are lost, with only entry being 192.168.1.1 There's no good reason to use DHCP in this case, you can simply set a static private IP address (typically a high address in the same /24 as the modem). If you really must use DHCP then it can be reconfigured globally or per interface (type apropos dhclient). I notice that the original resolv.conf you quoted was set by resolvconf. I've never used this so I can't comment on whether it's helping or hindering. I suspect it aimed at laptops switching between different networks. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Unless you're running applications with known dependencies on earlier versions, always choose the latest stable release version of PHP. For MySQL, it's not so vital, but the latest release should be your default choice. Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.

Why can't you do something like create a transcript of the session where you try and install subversion, but it fails, and post that transcript onto a pastebin site directly from FreeBSD? Use script(1) to make the transcript: % script /tmp/session.log % ... do ports related things ... % exit The session.log should contain a copy of everything that got printed onto your terminal. Pastebin sites are a dime a dozen, and you can probably find one that lets you use standard unix tools to upload to it. Then just post the link here.
