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.
I believe your alcatel speedtouch (although I have never seen one) isn't a modem, but a router. So you don't have to mess around with ppp . You simply set it as default gateway and dns server in /stand/sysinstall --> Configure --> Networking --> Interfaces --> and select you NIC.
Or - if you prefer this - have a look at your Complete FreeBSD and edit /etc/rc.conf manually.
Greetings,
Uli.
