Usually, it has point from and point to, where point to being my IP address. But when I start the ppp service, the host address is said to be "Unnumbered" and shows "Ethernet0" and it gives me my IP after that. When I use slattach and do "ifconfig" and "route" manually, I just use my IP for both gateway and my IP, and This works just fine. Is there any other way to use FreeBSD's internet ppp program? Whenever I try to use PPP with the builtin ppp program, it just hangs up after gets connected, the reason being unable to get host IP. --------- Byung
