Lee) Subject: User PPP (iijppp) and routing Message-ID: <timleeECwzr4.8tL@netcom.com> Date: Sun, 6 Jul 1997 20:33:04 GMT Lines: 17 Sender: timlee@netcom5.netcom.com Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:44024 With FreeBSD 2.2.1, I configured and used the user PPP (iijppp) according to the on line handbook and ppp man page. I can get a PPP connection and an IP address from the remote host (a SunOS 4.1.3 machine with pppd), and "show ipcp" shows the expected IP addresses. "show route" does not give a route to either the IP assigned by the remote host, or the IP address of the remote host. This means that attempts to telnet the remote host's IP address or others it is connected to fail. What else needs to be done to get the routing across the PPP connection to work properly? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Timothy J.
