This does not allow a 'reply all' :-(
Dear Haines Brown:
I use Roaring Penguin PPPOE. http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe/
I selected permanent connection, but I am unsure if this applies
to eth# or ppp#. :-| 'adsl-setup' and 'adsl-start' are script
names with my application (Roaring Penguin). I am assuming that
your using the same or similar.
How do you know "I definitely have eth0 set to be permanently
up" ? Actually, I'm betting that it is ppp# that is set to
demand or permanent.
It seems that your dsl connection (PPPOE?) application is
setting up IPCHAINS, but your kernel is using IPTABLES.
You can:
- reconfigure (make config) your kernel to use IPCHAINS.
- configure IPTABLES to replace your dsl-connection application's
attempt to use IPCHAINS.
