PPPoE + ADSL on FreeBSD 4.4

Hi everyone,

This is basically my problem. I setup freebsd, and wanted to get my adsl connection up which uses pppoe to connect. I followed the steps in this (http://free.mine.nu/~squirrel/PPPoE/...oE%20Howto.htm) manual and configured everything successfully. The problem begins when i run the command "ppp -bacgkround pppoe"

I get the following error:

Warning: Bad label in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf (line 5) - missing colon
Warning: Bad label in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf (line 6) - missing colon
Warning: Bad label in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf (line 7) - missing colon
Warning: Bad label in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf (line 8) - missing colon

From looking at the Handbook, and the manu above, I did not notice anywhere that says i should put a colon. For the heck of it I did putit in and the same problem appear. I've tried to get my connect up for a month now with no luck. PLEAse someone help.

Smilie
