Hi,
Since I came home today and turned up my modem alive, I have been facing
frequent disconnections. Am not sure whether this has anything to do
with the rain and hence bad connection or something wrong with my modem
which is kinda screwed up. I have setup pppoe to connect my BSNL
Broadband connection and I can see the following in the plog,
Oct 24 21:32:53 garuda pppd[14873]: No response to 4 echo-requests
Oct 24 21:32:53 garuda pppd[14873]: Serial link appears to be disconnected.
Oct 24 21:32:53 garuda pppd[14873]: Connect time 3.0 minutes.
Oct 24 21:32:53 garuda pppd[14873]: Sent 1587 bytes, received 20649 bytes.
Oct 24 21:32:59 garuda pppd[14873]: Connection terminated.
Oct 24 21:32:59 garuda pppd[14873]: Modem hangup
Does this mean that the modem is screwing up and as an effect of it my
connection gets disconnected? A successive plog after this showing the
following,
Oct 24 21:33:35 garuda pppd[14873]: Using interface ppp2
Oct 24 21:33:35 garuda pppd[14873]: Connect: ppp2 <--> eth0
Oct 24 21:33:35 garuda pppd[14873]: CHAP authentication succeeded:
Authentication success,Welcome!
Oct 24 21:33:35 garuda pppd[14873]: CHAP authentication succeeded
Oct 24 21:33:35 garuda pppd[14873]: peer from calling number
00:E0:FC:64:25:4E authorized
Oct 24 21:33:35 garuda pppd[14873]: Cannot determine ethernet address
for proxy ARP
Is anyone else with BSNL Broadband in Chennai facing similar issues or
is it me and my modem?
