I am setting up my system to use pppd to dial into the school.
I tried the pppup suggested in ppp.faq and it failed at the
last line at pppd "/dev/cuaa0" the error message I get is
<bad address:127.0.0.1> which essentially is the address when
I typed pppd. So, I would guess that I need to set up the local
host properly before I try again to connect to the net. I have
freeBSD 2.0.5 on my PC, at home, with a modem, and not connected
to any network whatsoever. The problem I have is that during startup
I got message saying "Network unreachable" when it try to
"writing to routing socket" and "add net 224.0.0.0". I really am
not familiar with the localhost issue so I guess I would attach
several of my configuration files here. Could someone please
go through them and help me diagnose the problem please ?
Here are some info regarding the school,
school host : pluto.sfsu.edu 130.212.10.163
domain name : sfsu.edu
the assigned IP for sutdent to dial in is : 192.0.2.1
Also, I have deleted the multicast route, but
during bootup, I still see the lo0 being configure to
<UP,LOOPBACK,MULTICAST>
I am under the impression that I need to create a start_if.ppp0
and start_if.lo0 in /etc ? (as I read there is a line check for ifconfig
in netstart) if so, what needs to be in there?
Thanx again.
