i want to open a seperate thread since no one noticed my reply to elie. i have adsl and using adsl+linux for over a year now. recently nezeq have concluded that i don't need my orkit modem anymore since they messed up at the begining when they started to deal with orkit. everything was fine with the orkit for about a full year. so now, I have a samsung modem that uses pppOe and recently after 3 days to a week it suddenly get stuck somehow and you need to reset it manualy(pull out the power plug), because it can't be reached anymore(doesn't return pings) the strange error message i get from the pppoe client is : "pppoe[25831]: Timeout waiting for PADO packets" which i assume its pppoe language which tells me to take a 5 kg hammer and smash the modem to where it came from baseball style. anyone knows whats the problem? encountered the same problem? anything constructive to add?
p.s: also, what is that keepalive option dani arbel mentioned? i checked the pppd man page and it doesn't specifically says keepalive. did u mean persist? or lcp-echo-interval or something? 10x * - * - * Tzahi Fadida [EMAIL PROTECTED] Technion Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] My Cool Site: HTTP://WWW.My2Nis.Com * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * WARNING TO SPAMMERS: see at http://members.lycos.co.uk/my2nis/spamwarning.html ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
