It sounds like you are configuring the "user" hosts so that their network interfaces are PPPoE tunnels. If you don't configure them to understand the Ethernet as a subnet, they won't know how to send packets directly to each other. > Lowell Gilbert wrote: > > >Ovidiu Ene <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > > > >>Hello guys > >> > >>I've setup a pppoe server using mpd and i've activated proxy arp in pppoed. > >>The problem is that all traffic between LAN users is going via pppoed NIC. > >>I do not want that, i want that LAN users to have traffic direct, like > >>using fixed IPs. > >> > >>it is possible? how? > >> > > > >Can you draw a picture of the configuration? > >I don't follow your description, and others may be having the same problem. > > > > > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > > -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: pppoed using mpd - dirrect connect between LAN clients
Yes, i'll try: WAN - | ROUTER | (also pppoe server using mpd) -- LAN | switch | | | | user1 user2user n ROUTER is a FreeBSD Box user 1 ... user n are windows stations connected to pppoe server (win 98, windows 2000 or win xp) On the router is installed a dc++ server. Users 1... to n are connected to dc++ server, they download files from each other. The problem is that traffic from user 1 to user 2 , or between any user is going via LAN nic. If i do not use pppoe server and assign user1 user2 fixed ips then the traffic in lan is direct from a user to another. The traffic on LAN nic is not high. So, pppoe will help in a easyer configuration of a client but traffic in lan is via LAN nic which is bad... if are many computers it slows down alot. If user 1 download from user 2 a 700 mb iso it will take only 1 minute for a 100 mbps lan, but if pppoe is setup and many users download from each others the traffic lows down a lot... i had experience with 300 kbytes/s instead of 8 mbytes/s.

pppoed using mpd - dirrect connect between LAN clients
Hello guys I've setup a pppoe server using mpd and i've activated proxy arp in pppoed. The problem is that all traffic between LAN users is going via pppoed NIC. I do not want that, i want that LAN users to have traffic direct, like using fixed IPs. it is possible? how? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
