Connecting ISP problem

Wed Feb 25 06:06:48 PST 2004

This is wrong.
++++++++++++++++ is not comment or command    remove it.
You have all statements starting in position 1 this is
wrong, section header names start in position 1 and end with :

default:   and    dialisp:

make ppp.conf look like this
default: & dialisp: start in position 1 and
everything else starts in position 2
delete all the other stuff you have in your ppp.conf.

default:
 set log Phase tun             #use to avoid excessive log sizes
 set timeout 0      # no idle time out, will not disconnect

dialisp:
 set device PPPoE:rl0          # replace xxx with your Nic device
name
 set authname YOURLOGINNAME    # Replace with your ISP account IP
 set authkey YOURPASSWORD     # Replace with your ISP account PW
 add default HISADDR        # Add a (sticky) default route Mandatory
 enable dns      # Gets the ISP's DNS IP address & places them
                 # in resolv.conf for reference by FBSD box

In rc.conf you have
ifconfig-rl0=up

and it should be

ifconfig_rl0=up

hostname="localhost" is wrong it needs to be FQDN
as in hostname="fbsdstephenliu.com.hk"

check /etc/syslog.conf and make sure ppp.log is enabled.
Empty ppp.log before test and
post ppp.log if this does not work.

Hi JJB,

Thanks for your advice.  Still can't connect ISP.
