Re: pppoe, PADO?

Hi there.

I had a similar problem!
Try to change your ethernet card. It worked for me. Strange think. On 
RedHat 7.3 I had normal half-duplex-card connected to the modem. 
Eerthing worked fine. It took me days to figure it out. May something 
was changed in the drivers/modules.

When I connected the modem to the other ethernet card, a 
full-duplex-card, I could connect again!!!

Regards
Cornelius
