A few days ago I moved the gateway server in my house from one to another. On the first computer, I never had any problems, but now on the second one (which is running RHL 7.3 - the old one ran RHL 7.2) the connection seems to get lost every few minutes or so. Can anybody tell me what my problem is and/or how to fix it? Here is my pppoe.conf and a snip of /var/log/messages of what's happening over and over again.
