Many of the configuration values are only used at negotiation time. Those, you norrmally can't change without reopening the link. The STD on PPP implies that it should be possible to renegotiate the link without physically dropping carrier (by sending an LCP packet, for instance), but I doubt ppp supports it (and I don't really think it should).

RE: PPP Question - should be easy...
Killall ppp followed by ppp -ddial xxx Where xxx is the section header name in the ppp.conf you want to exec. User ppp always reads the default: section name, just add other section names containing your different values. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Chris Knipe Sent: Sunday, March 14, 2004 4:52 PM To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: PPP Question - should be easy... Hi all, I was just wondering, I run ppp from rc.conf with -ddial, and it is working brilliantly. However, I need to change ppp configurations quite frequently, is there a quick way to tell ppp to reload the configuration without killing it? I am specifically looking to change values in the label that is run from rc.conf with -ddial... I'm hoping in some way that I can send ppp a -HUP and it will use the new values when the ppp process reconnects automatically in -ddial mode. Thanks for your time, and I look forward to some possible answers.

I can connect to my isp using ppp manually (going into TERM mode, etc.). But once I am connected this way I can't return to packet mode and I can't access the internet outside of that terminal window. Are you adding a default route? That sounds like the problem. I have also tried using kppp. When I use this, I can access locations if I know the IP address but not if I type in the web address. I included the correct dns when I configured the connection, still I get nothing if I type in the web address. Again this sounds like you aren't adding a default route. It would be most helpful if we could see the ppp.conf you are using, and any errors you are seeing using ppp automatically (the relevant entries in ppp.log if that is setup). -Mark ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
