Hi, Im a freeBSD newbie & have been struggling for some time to get my adsl connection working on Freebsd 5.2.1 Release. I've tried many suggested configurations for /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, and /etc/rc.conf & read relevant chapters from 'Complete FreeBSD' & the handbook, but my connection still dies before reaching the LCP phase.
Im using an Alcatel Speedtouch 530 Modem connected to Ethernet. My ADSL connection is fine in Windoze however the configuration for the modem is usually set through a web-browser. Do the modem settings(done via browser) affect the connection in FBSD or does the system simply take the settings from ppp.conf etc? Im somewhat confused on this point. I can ping the modem at 10.0.0.138 and can open the web interface in X. The log reads: Jun 25 20:00:26 brycepc ppp[801]: tun1: Phase: bundle: Establish Jun 25 20:00:26 brycepc ppp[801]: tun1: Phase: deflink: closed -> opening Jun 25 20:00:26 brycepc ppp[801]: tun1: Debug: List of netgraph node ``sis0:'' (id 1) hooks: Jun 25 20:00:26 brycepc ppp[801]: tun1: Debug: Found orphans -> ethernet Jun 25 20:00:26 brycepc ppp[801]: tun1: Debug: Connecting netgraph socket .:tun1 -> [3]::tun1 Jun 25 20:00:26 brycepc ppp[801]: tun1: Debug: Sending PPPOE_CONNECT to .:tun1 Jun 25 20:00:26 brycepc ppp[801]: tun1: Debug: Found the following interfaces: Jun 25 20:00:26 brycepc ppp[801]: tun1: Debug: Index 1, name "sis0" Jun 25 20:00:26 brycepc ppp[801]: tun1: Debug: Index 2, name "lp0" Jun 25 20:00:26 brycepc ppp[801]: tun1: Debug: Index 3, name "lo0" Jun 25 20:00:26 brycepc ppp[801]: tun1: Debug: Index 4, name "tun0" Jun 25 20:00:26 brycepc ppp[801]: tun1: Debug: Index 5, name "tun1" Jun 25 20:00:26 brycepc ppp[801]: tun1: Phase: deflink: Connected!
