DSL Disconnects
Hello. My ISP is through Bellsouth FastAccess DSL and I am trying to get my connection to stay up without disconnected and having to run /etc/netstart everytime it disconnects. I am very confused about how connections are in general. I think it is a PPPoE. I have to use a user name and password to connect. I have a static IP address if that matters. This is what I have in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf default: set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command nat enable yes nat same_ports yes nat use_sockets yes set redial 15 28800 set reconnect 15 28800 pppoe: set device PPPoE:xl0: set mru 1492 set mtu 1492 set speed sync enable lqr set lqrperiod 5 set cd 5 set dial set login set authname [EMAIL PROTECTED] set authkey password set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 add default HISADDR# Add a (sticky) default route enable dns And this in rc.conf gateway_enable=YES hostname=localhost.localdomain portmap_enable=NO network_interfaces=auto rwhod_enable=YES ppp_enable=YES ppp_profile=pppoe ppp_mode=direct pccard_ifconfig=DHCP dhcp_program=/sbin/dhclient Not sure what should be added and/or removed. __ Do you Yahoo!?

Try disabling lqr (i.e. 'disable lqr') and/or lowering the mtu setting (e.g. 1448) and removing the mru line and see if that helps. I've read somewhere (sorry can't remember where - try google) that some Telco equipment acts flaky with lqr enabled and the mtu set to max 1492. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hopefully someone else can help you stop the connection from dropping in the first place :-) Cheers, Scott -- === Scott Mitchell | PGP Key ID | Eagles may soar, but weasels Cambridge, England | 0x54B171B9 | don't get sucked into jet engines scott at fishballoon.org | 0xAA775B8B | -- Anon ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
