RE: Having trouble getting ppp configured on my 6.1 box
Post your /etc/ppp/ppp.conf /var/log/ppp.log/etc/hosts and firewall rules files. Are you running DNS server? You may also find the Install Guide at www.a1poweruser.com helpful. It covers user ppp in detail. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Matteo Pillon Sent: Tuesday, September 05, 2006 5:33 AM To: Andrew Falanga Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Having trouble getting ppp configured on my 6.1 box On Mon, Sep 04, 2006 at 07:07:21PM -0600, Andrew Falanga wrote: What's interesting is, I can resolve hostnames within the domain of my ISP ( Icehouse.net).

Hi Andrew. On Sat, Sep 02, 2006 at 11:51:40AM -0600, Andrew Falanga wrote: ppp works and all, but I can't resolve any DNS hostnames. Everytime I try, I get something like no address associated to the name. Or something similar. Sorry, I'm writing this mail from the Windows OS (one computer shares the two OS's) and I don't recall the error exactly but that's basically it. First, verify you're really connected to internet, looking at ifconfig if tun0 has an ip. Then look at the output of netstat -rn if there's a default route, then try to ping a numeric address, like ping 151.1.1.1. This will help you diagnose the problem. ;-) Bye. -- * Pillon Matteo ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Trying adding this enable dnsto your ppp.conf file. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Andrew Falanga Sent: Saturday, September 02, 2006 1:52 PM To: freebsd-questions Subject: Having trouble getting ppp configured on my 6.1 box Hello everyone, I had to blow away my 6.0 installation and simply install 6.1 release. I found out that I would have to update my ports manually and since I don't have high speed access to the Internet, this just wasn't feasible. So, after installing (which went smoothly) I'm getting everything working. I remembered all my configuration files, or so I thought, except for the ppp.conf file that I was using. I remember having this problem when I installed 6.0 but unfortunately, I can't remember how to fix it. This is really embarrasing. ppp works and all, but I can't resolve any DNS hostnames. Everytime I try, I get something like no address associated to the name. Or something similar. Sorry, I'm writing this mail from the Windows OS (one computer shares the two OS's) and I don't recall the error exactly but that's basically it. I was reading through the handbook and the ppp manual page and have tried a few different things, but haven't gotten it to work as yet. I called my ISP to get the nameserver addresses to put in /etc/resolv.conf, and have confirmed that with enable dns in ppp that ppp is updating the resolv.conffile. However, I'm still unable to resolve DNS hostnames. What's the magic that I must perform to make this work?
