After some minor mistake on my part I wound up having to reinstall NetBSD
and I installed it as well as the ppp-dod.tgz kit. Here's what I've done
as well. My /etc/hosts file have been set so that the first line reads:
127.1 localhost wizzard.tiac.net
(this is the host name with my ISP)
My /etc/resolv.conf file reads:
199.0.65.2
199.0.65.8
199.0.65.9
I have set all the options in /etc/ppp/options, /etc/ppp/ppp-numbers, and
/etc/ppp/ppp-login. I have also changed the modem init string in
/etc/ppp/ppp-dial.
I restarted and tried it out. I typed in ppp-start to start it it said
something about connecting then connected. It said in "PPP-DOD-HOW-TO" to
do this then to type in something like ftp ftp.NetBSD.ORG to dial out and
get a connection. all it does is come back as:
host not found
ftp>
Could someone please help me out on what I am doing wrong? Oh when I type
in ftp ftp.NetBSD.ORG it doesn't even try to dial the modem. I have
checked ps -aux and found the pppd is in fact up and running. Any help on
this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Albert
