Re: ppp problems on 4.3-RELEASE and PPPoE

According to James Housley: and I am not in Canada. I am using natd and ipfw for NAT and the firewall. The link has a static IP if it matters. Below I am attaching ppp.conf. I have watched some of the data with tcpdump on both tun0 and I'm also using ppp + ng_pppoe on a 4.3-STABLE system.
