Greetings all, Problem with maintaining the internet connection: on startup I do:
# ppp -ddial internet and all is well. It may be 2 days, it may be one hour later I fail to connect to mail and internet. When I check the connection using: $ bash-2.05b$ netstat -rn Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 202.64.10.27 UGS 0 18028 tun0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 441 lo0 202.64.10.27 210.17.143.28 UH 1 0 tun0 So all would still appear to be OK, but nevertheless I get no mail and no connection to a web page. OK, I redo ppp -ddial internet, and I get the following netstat -rn printout: bash-2.05b$ netstat -rn Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 202.64.10.32 UGS 0 18090 tun1 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 441 lo0 202.64.10.27 210.17.143.28 UH 0 0 tun0 202.64.10.32 210.17.197.153 UH 1 0 tun1 And all works for a while, but ..... stops. So I reboot, and all works like a charm. Checking /var/log/ppp.log I see episodes of this: Feb 7 12:18:17 ppp[9716]: Warning: iface add: ioctl(SIOCAIFADDR, 210.17.198.175 -> 202.64.10.32): File exists Feb 7 12:18:17 ppp[9716]: Error: ipcp_InterfaceUp: unable to set ip address Feb 7 12:18:32 ppp[9716]: Phase: bundle: Terminate Feb 7 12:18:32 ppp[9716]: Phase: deflink: open -> lcp Feb 7 12:18:32 ppp[9716]: Phase: deflink: Disconnected!

What are the possible causes? 2. Why does the routing table still show an active connection? 3. What steps could I take in troubleshooting? Sadly, the FreeBSD handbook and FreeBSD Unleashed do not have the answers, and google is rather dry on the subject.
