Hmm, I wonder if you can catch it again and do a ``set log local physical'' and run ``tcpdump -i XXX -e not ip'' on the interface at the same time ? A ``ping -c 1'' should then show if ppp's sending the data out, and if it is, if ng_ether is forwarding it. I'm a little concerned about the

According to Brian Somers: If pppctl is still working (ppp will talk to it), then it may be worth seeing what ``show physical'' and ``show timer'' say (is the link open, or is ppp waiting for something to happen via a timeout?). Locked again with a pppctl attached. show timer -=-=- IPCP

Hi, I think it's important to quantify what a lockup is here. If pppctl is still working (ppp will talk to it), then it may be worth seeing what ``show physical'' and ``show timer'' say (is the link open, or is ppp waiting for something to happen via a timeout?). If pppctl isn't working it's

Brian: If he's having the same lockup as me, PPP is blocking on a select() while trying to re-establish a connection that has gone down. If there's a pppctl socket open and you're issuing commands it doesn't lock up. But when you shut down the socket by terminating pppctl the lockup occurs. The

According to Brett Glass: To reproduce the problem (and it's easily reproducible here), pull the client's Ethernet cable. The client will retry properly once. The second time it retries, it will lock. Since this may be adapter-dependent, try with an ed card (I think that everyone in the

Try reducing the interface MTU further. It's possible that there's a misconfigured router between you and the sites *and* a part of the route has an mtu of less than 1492. ``set mtu 1480'' or ``set mtu 1460'' may work. I have been having problems with the the newer Windows machines, 2000
