Eric and everyone : I've changed to the latest pppd on CVS and that problem was solved. Thanks for the tip!
But now, I have another problem (this time with the pppoe connection, not with the pptp tunnel). When I changed to the latest ppp.lrp and pppoe.lrp packages, my pppoe connection don't work properly. The issue is that the option "persist" don't work at all. If the dsl line goes down, the process that keeps trying to connect, disappears (with the other version of pppd, that was no happening) Here is my /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider file : plugin /usr/lib/pppd/rp-pppoe.so pty "pppoe -I eth1 -T 80 -m 1452" noipdefault hide-password lcp-echo-interval 20 lcp-echo-failure 3 connect /bin/true noauth persist usepeerdns maxfail 0 name <username> And here the pppd log file : Sep 29 12:36:07 Bering pppd[14452]: Plugin /usr/lib/pppd/rp-pppoe.so loaded.

Besides a script in the crontab that check the pppd every 5 minutes ;) Thanks in advance.

Thanks.

He doesn't have a solution for your problems, but he does have some pointers that can help you to solve it. First some questions: You are using Bering_uClibc 2.0 beta4, that one contatins pppd- 2.4.2b3. But according to your log, you are using pppd-2.4.1. Are you using some older packages with beta4? Which version of pptp are you using? 1.3.1-1 is the latest in CVS. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
