Hello there.
I have a ppp(oe) problem under openbsd 4.2 (with 009_ppp.patch patch
applied).
I have router under openbsd, which connects to the ISP through adsl
modem (with pppoe). ppp starts with option -ddial, which means that it
would reconnect if the link drops down. But it seems it doesn't. I have
terrible phone cables (and a cat, if you know what I mean :) so the
modem often reconnects, sometimes even with no obvious reason. After
that ppp supposes an old session up, so it doesn't reconnect. Of course,
the uplink gives me another adsl session, so it doesn't see packets from
my old-given ip.
So I have to kill the previous ppp session to get new ip. Is it a
problem of code or some misconfiguring? Here comes some information:
# cat /etc/hostname.tun0
!/usr/sbin/ppp -unit 0 -quiet -ddial pppoe; sleep 5
default:
set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command LQM
set redial 15 0
set reconnect 15 10000
pppoe:
set device "!/usr/sbin/pppoe -i rl0"
set mtu max 1492
set mru max 1492
set speed sync
disable acfcomp protocomp
deny acfcomp
enable lqr echo
disable ipv6cp
set lqrperiod 5
set echoperiod 5
set timeout 0
set authname "******"
set authkey "******"
add default HISADDR
enable mssfixup
BTW, I heard of similiar problem from another guy, so I'm not alone.
P.S. I'm sorry if I repeated some known problem. I tried to search in
archives but no succeed, and I can't spend any time to the problem now
because of high time pressure.
