( stable 5.9 i ll update soon ) I carefully read man pages, find out i cant use hostname.pppoe because ??? i am probably not seeing something obvious but ...
So i execute : ifconfig pppoe0 destroy # for fresh start :D ifconfig pppoe0 pppoedev em6 authproto pap authname\ YYYYYY authkey XXXXXXXXX && ifconfig pppoe0 debug &&\ ifconfig pppoe0 inet 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 broadcast 255.255.255.255 && echo OK When i do not pass first the auth params it doesnt work, once it s up , no more configuring if i got this right. The first ip given after auth is always rejected : /bsd: pppoe0: ipcp parse opt values: address IPV4 [not agreed] send conf-nak Then pppoe0: ipcp nak opts: address [wantaddr OtherIPV4] [agree] But pppoe0: ipcp parse opt values: still need hisaddr send conf-nak until the driver abandoned all hope. And know i am just scratching my head :-( -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\
