It seems to be a ppp 3.1 problem. I have got the same problem when I
upgrade my gateway from 4.3 to -STABLE. 
It had been discussed on freebsd-net@ few weeks ago, look at archives ;)
If you want to see lqr again, you need to downgrade.

Well, the problem is certainly related to LQR. I disabled LQR, and the
problem has stopped happening. I got suspicious of LQR when I looked in
my ppp.log and saw this:

So, either my firewall is too strict, or the remote end isn't responding
to the LQR packet. Disabling LQR has fixed the problem, but now I wonder
if I am losing out by now utilizing LQR? Could it have been my firewall
that was blocking it? I couldn't find any good information online about
firewalling LQR packets.

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try and see what happens.

according to the man page ... by default the PPP connection times out
after 3 mins.  It suggests using "set timeout 0" to disable it.  try
adding that to the ppp.conf file.

Configuration looks fine... What does the ppp.log file show?

I don't notice the disconnections here, but maybe the ppp process is

Does anyone see anything suspicious in my configuration that might be

Strange PPPoE behaviour -- Need help to avoid fees

2003-06-06 Thread Adam
I just got a call from my ISP telling me that my DSL has been
disconnecting and reconnecting every 3 minutes for the past few months,
and that this is putting a heavy load on their servers. They're
considering charging me for all this extra bandwidth, as they're certain
that the problem is on my end.

I don't notice the disconnections here, but maybe the ppp process is
doing some weirdness that is transparent to me. Here's my ppp.conf:

default:
 set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
 ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE)

openweb:
 set authname [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 set authkey 
 set device PPPoE:dc0
 enable dns
 enable lqr
 add default HISADDR
 set dial
 set login
 set mru 1492
 set reconnect 3 6000


Does anyone see anything suspicious in my configuration that might be
causing the problem? I'm going to try switching my GNet modem with a
Daewoo, but I'm thinking that the problem probably lies in my ppp.conf
settings.
