[Astlinux-users] PPPOE anyone?

[Darrick H. <dha...@dj...>]

There have been some issues with PPPoe, that I hope to get corrected.  I 
need to better determine the problem and may need some assistance from 
users to get there.

First, does anyone have a working PPPoE installation using Astlinux?  If 
so, what did you need to modify to get it working?

Defining EXTIF as ppp0 and setting the variables PPPOEUSER, PPPOEPASS 
and PPPOEIF should result in a configuration file being generated in 
/tmp/etc/ppp but nothing is generated.

Let's get this corrected!

Darrick,

  I use PPP quite a bit.  Here is a box:

grep -i ppp /etc/rc.conf:
EXTIF=ppp0
PPPOEKERNEL="YES"
PPPOEUSER="fakeuser"
PPPOEPASS="fakepass"
PPPOEIF=eth0

pbx ~ # cat /tmp/etc/ppp/pppoe.conf
ETH=eth0

  Been up for quite some time...

Kristian,

Do you have "WANDELAY" set to anything?  Perhaps that's what I'm missing.

Thanks,

Darrick

Darrick,

  No sir.  WANDELAY is only necessary if the WAN adapter is in the
machine (usually for Sangoma cards)  - you have to wait for the
physcial negotation before you try to bring up PPP.  That's what
WANDELAY is for.

  Are you using a Sangoma card?

Doh!  I was missing a P in front of one of the PPPOE variables.  Now the 
config files are generated.  I'll try this tomorrow, but it looks like 
it should work with no problem.  I could get a connection to start if I 
manually created the files.

I'd really like to replace dhcp'd nameservers with opendns.com name 
servers.  Charter's name servers really suck.
