I am having trouble getting ppp to work under NetBSD.  It works with no trouble at all 
under windows NT.  Here's the setup:

ppp options
noipdefault
defaultroute
0.0.0.0:

If I connect with kermit, suspend and then run pppd, the system looks like it is 
configured properly. ie

ifconfig -a reports something like:
lo0 ....
ed0 not configured
ppp0 ...
   206.66.6.2 --> 206.66.6.8

netstat -nr reports something like:

default 206.66.6.2 ...

If I ping anything on the 206.66.6 net I get an error about Network not reachable.
My ISP said my default gateway is 204.178.72.2, but this is not on the same network as 
the machine I dial in to.

Also each dial in reports a diffrent IP (dynamic IP's)


Is it possible to use ppp with NetBSD for this type of Dial-up??

I have also tryed changing the options to be
0.0.0.0:
  to
0.0.0.0:204.178.72.2

And to no sucess the network is never configured correctly.

Any pointers would sure be appreciated

Thanks,
