Hello, The pppoe solution has spreaded into my area as i saw on many providers. I setup a computer with openbsd 3.7 to act as a router togheter with pf and nat capabilities.
After all the settings i did this computer is acting very strange. The connection is not useable and i can't continue like this. I never used pppoe so i decided to test the kernel implementation, seeing in many articles this is not so overloading for the OS. I setup the pppoe0 as the man page says. At boot time i was able to see all three phases of pppoe connection (displayed with blue backgroud), but after a while during daemon initialization i received this errors: pppoe*: GENERIC ERROR : RP-PPPoE Child pppd process terminated FFEDEE... (long string) pppoe*: GENERIC ERROR : Received PADT. Sometimes, even with those errors, the link is working. I see this doing an ifconfig -a pppoe0. I 'm able to see the address. I'm able to ping google.com and the DNS server. Sometimes, the ifconfig -a pppoe0 reports the session as being ok, but i'm able to ping only the DNS server of my ISP, not google.com. I tried a traceroute to google.com and it looks like the packets cannot travel thru a computer from my ISP. Sometimes, even the ifconfig -a pppoe reports link ok, i'm not able to ping something. This is a random behaviour, with all three situation alternating. I wasn't able to relate somehow this behaviour to something. From a Windows xp computer, the connection works very good. I didn't paste the settings here, because i did them like in the man page, i even tried some examples from internet. Having all these, is the pppoe kernel implementation mature enough, or maybe i should try the userland tool? Thanks Tired of spam? Yahoo!
