Hello Maik I have 1 PFsense box at a site with PPoe running fine.
For my setup I have the following setting on the WAN interface: Mac Address: I have spoofed the Mac of the ISP supplied router. MTU: 1492 - Default MTU for PPOE but naturally check with ISP Then simply the username and password. Connects fine and has been stable. I would plug in your working router and confirm the settings then duplicate on PFsense From: list-boun...@lists.pfsense.org [mailto:list-boun...@lists.pfsense.org] On Behalf Of Maik Heinelt Sent: 02 April 2012 03:31 To: pfSense support and discussion Subject: [pfSense] pfsense 2.0.1 PPPoE client Hi, I have tried to get pfsense running as PPPoE client, but cannot get it work. If I use a cheap buffalo router, it works without any issue. - Interface is enabled - PPPoE username and password are set (100% correct !!) - The right NIC on my alix board is set for PPPoE, too. - Lan-cable is not broken, too (works with the cheap router, too) - Yes, pfsense is connected to modem, too At Status >> Interfaces, it shows WAN interface (pppoe0) Status down. ppp: [wan_link0] Link: reconnection attempt 155 ppp: [wan_link0] PPPoE: Connecting to 'Fletz' ppp: [wan_link0] PPPoE connection timeout after 9 seconds ppp: [wan_link0] Link: DOWN event ppp: [wan_link0] LCP: Down event ppp: [wan_link0] Link: reconnection attempt 156 in 2 seconds ppp: [wan_link0] Link: reconnection attempt 156 ppp: [wan_link0] PPPoE: Connecting to 'Fletz' ppp: [wan_link0] PPPoE connection timeout after 9 seconds ppp: [wan_link0] Link: DOWN event ppp: [wan_link0] LCP: Down event ppp: [wan_link0] Link: reconnection attempt 157 in 4 seconds ppp: [wan_link0] Link: reconnection attempt 157 ppp: [wan_link0] PPPoE: Connecting to ' Fletz' ppp: [wan_link0] PPPoE connection timeout after 9 seconds ppp: [wan_link0] Link: DOWN event ppp: [wan_link0] LCP: Down event ppp: [wan_link0] Link: reconnection attempt 158 in 2 seconds ppp: [wan_link0] Link: reconnection attempt 158 ppp: [wan_link0] PPPoE: Connecting to ' Fletz' ppp: [wan_link0] PPPoE connection timeout after 9 seconds ppp: [wan_link0] Link: DOWN event ppp: [wan_link0] LCP: Down event ppp: [wan_link0] Link: reconnection attempt 159 in 4 seconds ppp: [wan_link0] Link: reconnection attempt 159 ppp: [wan_link0] PPPoE: Connecting to Fletz' ppp: [wan_link0] PPPoE connection timeout after 9 seconds Maybe someone has a hint? The Web-frontend log is not really helpful. Maybe someone have a link, where I can read about setting up PPPoE via command-line and get better logging? Thanks in advance. Maik
