Re: [gentoo-user] Setting default MTU for rp-pppoe
Found an easier way to do it instead of editting the adsl-connect script, for future reference. In /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf there is the following line: PPPD_EXTRA= (round line 136) you can list any extra arguments here that you would like to pass to pppd, like: PPPD_EXTRA=mtu 1352 mru 1352 logfd 1 to set the MTU and logging or whatever. Instead of having to edit the script file. It also overrides the defaults. :P -- When you play a Microsoft CD backwards you can hear demonic Voices... that's nothing - when you play it forward it installs Windows -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Setting default MTU for rp-pppoe
ok, so then try this nano /etc/conf.d/local.start and add ifconfig ppp0 mtu 1352 on a new line On 8/6/05, Ryan Viljoen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Tried that it doesnt work I am afraid.

Re: [gentoo-user] Setting default MTU for rp-pppoe
Could anyone tell me how I go about setting the default MTU of my pppoe connection. I am using rp-pppoe to bring it up. It currently sets it to 1432 and I need it to be 1352. It's buried in the rp-pppoe config file (can't remember what the name of the option is, but if you look for 1432, that should help). rp-pppoe will always override the MTU you set elsewhere... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Setting default MTU for rp-pppoe
Yeah I was hoping it wouldnt come to adding it in there paul. Looks like I am going to. James I grep'd all the files in /etc/ppp/ for 1432 with out any success.

Re: [gentoo-user] Setting default MTU for rp-pppoe
Yeah I was hoping it wouldnt come to adding it in there paul. Looks like I am going to. The only problem with this is that if the connection drops than the MTU will return to 1432. -- When you play a Microsoft CD backwards you can hear demonic Voices... that's nothing - when you play it forward it installs Windows -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
