Hi,
Today, I have installed latest pfSense v2.0 RC1 build on our Alix
board.
It seems not to work, even with this version. (I already posted
about this problem with a younger pfSense 2.0 build).
PPPoE was setup like in any other used router and are correct.
cable is connected to modem and the cable is ok.
Here are the pfSense logs:
Jan 1 09:09:21 ppp: [wan_link0] Link: reconnection attempt 21
Jan 1 09:09:21 ppp: [wan_link0] PPPoE: Connecting to '*'
Jan 1 09:09:30 ppp: [wan_link0] PPPoE connection timeout after 9
seconds
Jan 1 09:09:30 ppp: [wan_link0] Link: DOWN event
Jan 1 09:09:30 ppp: [wan_link0] LCP: Down event
That means it got no answer from your ISP at all. Check the Ethernet
link on WAN, and power cycle the modem.
Sorry, no, we have a multi-channel fiber connection in our office and
are online with another router on another channel.
So it couldn't be the problem.
But I found the reason!
When I configured PPPoE, I wrote username & password and leafed "Service
name" empty,
but did NOT check the "Configure a NULL Service name" check-box.
That was the problem! After I checked it, it connected without problem.
Why not just enable this function as default, if no Service name is given?
It then would avoid such trouble?!
