I use it to establish a PPPoE connection for my ADSL line. After 3 or 4 days ppp get freezed. ppp continue running and ifconfig reports: tun0: flags=8051 mtu 1492 inet 80.116.24.247 --> 192.168.100.1 netmask 0xffffffff Opened by PID 69 but if I ping 192.168.100.1 it does not respond. I must kill and restart ppp with papchap authentication and then it comes back working again. MY ISP says his hardware is functioning well and there are no problems on the ADSL line. THis problem is really annoying because from time to time I found myself disconnected without being able to track the problem. THere is only this strange line in ppp.log Nov 6 15:45:37 durlindana ppp[24369]: Phase: deflink: Enter pause (3) for redialing. I can't really understand what's happening. anyone has some hints? thanks Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
