Re: pppoe, PADO?

[Cornelius Kölbel <cornelius koelbel gmx de>]

Hello again,

ok, my /etc/modules looks like this:
--snip--
alias eth0 8139too
alias eth1 starfire
--snip--

The 8139 is the "good" one. The starfire is i think an intel card, I 
don´t get it running in full-duplex.

Now, the eth0 for dsl is configured as follows. The 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts//ifcfg-eth0 looks like this:
--snip--
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR=0.0.0.0
NETMASK=255.255.255.255
GATEWAY=255.255.255.255
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=no
NETWORK=0.0.0.0
BROADCAST=0.0.0.0
--snip--

I know, I should use mtu 1492 when using linux as a gateway, but funny 
thing for me it also works with 1500 without any problem.
Now, when I start the network /etc/rc.d/init.d/network start
the eth0 is up: (ifconfig)
--snip--
eth0      Protokoll:Ethernet  Hardware Adresse 00:50:BF:38:3D:E5
         UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

I have a flat rate, so I don´t use any dial on demand. I start the pppd, 
and someday I will stop it again (usually when shutting down the machine.)
I start it by:
--snip--
/usr/sbin/pppd pty "/usr/sbin/pppoe -I eth0"
--snip--

My /etc/ppp/options looks like this:
--snip--
connect /bin/true
noauth
ipcp-accept-remote
ipcp-accept-local
noipdefault
defaultroute
user "username"
hide-password
debug
noaccomp
nopcomp
nocrtscts
lcp-echo-interval 20
lcp-echo-failure 4
lock
nodetach
--snip--

At last I edited the pap-secrets aka. the chap-secrets. Since I start 
the pppd manually I don´t have to edit any cinfiguration files...

Then a connection will look like this. First he received a timeout then 
he connected...

I don´t know, If your provider might act in some other way. 
Start the pppd manually and try to play with the options of pppoe, to 
get some more (debugging) information.
I am not sure anymore, if I downloaded the package from roaringpenguin 
anew. I am running rp-pppoe version 3.5.2.

Let me know your next steps and hopefully success.

Cornelius
