First of all you should not use brackets in the new format. Second, why do you need PPP, unless this is a router that also authenticates into your ISP's adsl radius server? > # Each PPP interface requires an interface to use as a "Link" > link_ppp0="eth0" # PPPoE requires an ethernet interface Ditto. > # Specify what pppd plugins you want to use: available are: > # pppoe, pppoa, capi, dhcpc, minconn, radius, radattr, radrealms, winbind > plugins_ppp0=( "pppoe" ) No brackets in the new file format as previous message advised and as I said above, think again if you need PPP authentication performed by your Gentoo box (because your new router does this now). > # PPP requires at least a username. > # It will use the password specified in /etc/ppp/*-secrets > username_ppp0='****@***' > #pppd_ppp0=( "debug" "updetach" "noauth" "defaultroute" "usepeerdns" > "persist" ) pppd_ppp0=( "updetach" "defaultroute" ) Don't need these at all.
