Since FreeBSD comes with the pseudo-device ppp disables, and since this pseudo-device is needed by the pppd daemon, this may be the reason why you can't make it work. In FreeBSD, the *ppp* utility is used instead of *pppd*. The first one uses tun0 instead of ppp as pseudo-device. If it's your case, then you should uncomment that line in your system's configuration file: #pseudo-device ppp 1 Then you can rebuild your system. See you. Stef
