I tried to install FreeBSD 2.1 from walnut creek cdrom. Because I
encounter some problems to recognize my internal modem, I downloaded
and installed FreeBSD 2.2.2
I want to connect my FreeBSD box to Internet to act as a gateway to
two win95 machines. The freebsd box has an internal Supra 144Express
modem.
I followed the instructions for installation in the book, and on the
handbook. I even tune the kernel according to my hardware.
The problem is that sio1 is recognized on boot (COM2 is my modem).
According to online handbook, chapter "Check the tun device" when
# ifconfig tun0
the system should reply with
tun0: flags=8050<POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
In my system it does not say RUNNING. What is the problem and it does
not reply according to handbook?
Thanks in advance for all who take
the time to reply. Please reply also by
e-mail, due to problems we have (constantly
unsolved in IBM) to news servers, so I will not miss it.
For the unbelievers, read the news at
