Re: ppp woes!!
Hi Peter, Thanks for your help. I already have this line in ppp.conf(and I commented out this morning). I read in the handbook(I think) that this will use DNS servers from resolv.conf. But I want any kind of local(hosts, resolv.conf, local named) etc to be disabled and just use/get the DNS, gateway etc from my ISP. Just to help you to help me more :), my ISP does not show "login" in the terminal window so I guess he wants me to connect via PAP/CHAP. I have that configured via KPPP and ppp.conf reflects that but wonder why the connection is not established. I have configured tun0 and tun1, modem is proper(since KPPP can dial out) etc. Do I need to make ppp.link* files. I don't have them right now. I can send you my complete config. info if you want. Please guide me, I am really stuck. Thanks, Jiger From: Peter Elsner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jiger Java" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: ppp woes!!

Most ISP's have domain/host-names to their DNS-servers, like ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com or dns1.domain.com and dns2.domain.com. ns.domain.com and dns.domain.com may also work. Try to get them with nslookup in WinXP or use the servers I'm using to get them. host ns1.domain.com 62.101.193.44 for example in FreeBSD. winipconf or ipconf in WinXP should also work. I don't know if kppp reads /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, but if so, you can add "enable dns" under "default:". ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: ppp woes!!
On your WinXP system you should be able to go start -> run and type cmd as the command to run. This will open a window in which ipconfig /all | more should tell you what your name servers are. On the other hand FreeBSD's DHCP should pick them up for you and set resolv.conf, but then I missed the start of the thread... -- Michael Conlen Jiger Java wrote: From: Jon-Eirik Pettersen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Are you running KDE as root?

ppp woes!!
Hi FreeBSD Gurus and users, This is my first mail to the list and am a complete stranger to FreeBSD so forgive my newbie question. I have just taken the bold step towards installing FreeBSD on my machine. I have 1.7GHZ Pentium with 512 MB RAM, NVidia TNT2. I did a default install with no kernel customisation etc. Now I am trying to connect to Internet. Since it is still time for me to growup to console mode connecting, I start KDE and use KPPP to connect to the internet. BUT. PPP dies unexpectedly as soon as I type in a URL in say Konqueror. Sometimes it dies in a second of connecting. It exists with error code 1. Then after some thought, I finally made /etc/resolv.conf since it used to give me this warning when I stat kppp. This file is currently empty. Now PPP "seems to" connect but still it is not confirmed but it did not exit after I created this file. BUT when I type in any url in browser, it simplly say Host not found etc. Why? Also how do I enable "Get DNS Server Automatically" as in Windows. Please help me I am really stuck. Awaiting your replies, Jiger _ The Six Sigma edge.
