Can't get pppoe working on FreeBSD 5.2.1
 
Hi!
I just installed FreeBSD and have sound, printer, X windows and other things working.
But i have one little problem:
When i configure ppp to connect over Ethernet (PPPoE) and try to connect, all p's becomes capitalized, but I still can't get Konqueror to display *any* web page. :cry:
what I do is:

Code:

root@darkstar# ppp
  ppp> dial [my_ISP_config_name]
  Ppp>
  PPp>
  PPP>

I leave Konsole open, go to Konqueror and try to go to www.linuxquestions.org, and then it say it cant locate that web page (or something similar) and i think it mean's I am not connected to the internet!!! I saw somewhere an article that says I should be connected now! :(
Could anyone point me to place where I can find more info ( Yes I read the Handbook and *many* tutorials) or post ppp.conf for PPPoE?
Help would be very appreciated!

:study:

Can you ping IP out on the internet? Your ISP for example? How are you connected to ISP? Have you loaded DNS in resolv.conf?

No, I cant ping ISP or any other IP. I connect via ADSL. What should i do with /etc/reslov.conf, what should i put there and what is DNS? Please explain! :(
Wiling to learn.

I have edited ppp.conf and now I can ping and go to web pages, but only if i input IP adress instead of something like foo.bar.com. If I give a command, for example like this

Code:

root@darkstar# ping www.google.com
It says "host name lookup failure" or somthing like that. :confused: I think it has something to do with DNS and /etc/reslov.conf.
*Very* need help!!!
:scratch:

figured out my ISP DNS: :)
primary: 212.59.0.1
secondary: 212.59.0.2
Two questions still remaining:
How should I setup my /etc/reslov.conf?
How should I make DNS *work*?
:confused:

PS:
Am I talking to myself? :)

At last!!
 
PPPoE is now WORKING!!! I just had to "enable dns" in /etc/ppp.conf. :D

lol, I was going to jump in and see if I could help (before I switched my router to NetBSD I was using FreeBSD for it) but I see you talked yourself though it. ;)
