Hi SLUGers, I am running a server (on linux) here on ADSL, however recently I have had problems which cause the server to be unable to connect to ADSL. When this happens, my other computers (1 windows and 1 linux) CAN connect. So it is only the server. When this first happened (a few weeks back), the problem was solved by buying a better ethernet card, this did fix the problem, but this morning it dropped off again, and is doing the same thing. So I doubt it is the ethernet card. Cables have been checked (and different cables tried). Does anyone know why this could happen? The LAN works (SSH etc) - *only* ADSL doesn't work. It spontaneously did this while I was sleeping.
This is a snippet from /var/log/messages from a connection attempt: Jan 29 18:25:07 ozweb pppd[9956]: Using interface ppp0 Jan 29 18:25:07 ozweb pppd[9956]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/1 Jan 29 18:25:38 ozweb pppd[9956]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests Jan 29 18:25:38 ozweb pppd[9956]: Connection terminated.

I am using Roaring Penguin PPPoE on an Alcatel SpeedTouch Pro - RedHat Linux 7.3 with kernel 2.4.18-3. Any help would be appreciated :) Thanks, Theo Julienne -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
