Hi
I'm new as a FreeBSD user, and trying to configure my
pppoe connection.
After reading handbook and searching on various forums,
I prepared the ppp.conf file, and tried starting the ppp via
# ppp -ddial adsl
Here 'adsl' is the profile name, in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.
I also tried
#ppp -auto adsl
but the error message was same.
The tun0 interface is created, but when is tried pinging to well
known sites, e.g. yahoo.com, etc. it says:
"can't resolve hostname."
It seems a DNS issue first, but when I put my adsl modem
in non-bridged mode, I was able to connect to any site.
The IP address allocated to my PC is via DHCP, so
no special configuration was needed in modem's
non-bridged mode.
The problem arise only when I put adsl modem in
bridged mode and tried dialing via ppp.
My network schematic is:
PC <-----------------------> ADSL modem <-----> Internet
192.168.1.2 192.168.1.1
DHCP is enabled in adsl modem.
I'm pasting my related configuration files if they can help.
Please tell me if any other files are needed.

fxp0 is the ethernet interface of my PC via which adsl modem is connected.
Any suggestions ...
