The handbook fails to mention that you must bring up the interface for the pppoe device. It's possible that this is what's causing the problem. So if you were using xl1 as the pppoe device, try typing: "ifconfig xl1 -arp mtu 1492 up" before you run ppp. - Will ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul A.
