I am running a FreeBSD 3.4-Release #3 test system on which I am attempting to configure PPPoE, to no successful avail. I have followed the procedures from the handbook (http://www2.freebsd.org/handbook/pppoe.html), from simpatico (http://www.sympaticousers.org/faq/freebsd_howto.htm), and from node.to (http://www2.freebsd.org/handbook/pppoe.html), each in its own distinct and relative measure; nevertheless, none have worked. If anything, the latter two return a "/kernel: no such service" (??) error on a dial attempt while the first at least loads up the PPP process and attempts to dial (without any readily apparent error, barring the detail of PPPoE not actually connecting!). From what I can understand, PPPoE seems to wait for a carrier detect, and upon not detecting one, it disconnects. I have attempted setting widely varying values for "cd" from "off" to "5" to the noted "60" ~ none work. I have even gone so far as to "borrow" a ppp.conf from a friend (on PacBell ADSL), replace the requisite information (authname & authkey), and still not succeed in connecting. The hardware (NIC & ADSL modem) is in perfect shape ~ both work from this NT server without any errors. I am not sure if it is worth noting that dialup PPP works just fine ~ however, the particular FreeBSD workstation is (or, rather, should be) connected to an Earthlink ADSL account via a Fujitsu ADSL modem ~ I am not sure if the problem is one dealing especially with Earthlink or the specific modem (as such, any feedback from any Earthlink xDSL/FreeBSD users would be quite useful). I would very much appreciate *any* help at all, as this is becoming mind-numbingly frustrating. I have appended some technical information below in the hopes that it will elucidate the situation better than any rambling summary I can give. _________________________________________________ Of the primary directions from handbook, I have compiled "options NETGRAPH" into the kernel; either "options NETGRAPH_PPPOE" or "options NETGRAPH_SOCKET " return the aforementioned error of "/kernel: no such service" on a dial attempt ~ as such, I have given up on the latter two and compiled only the first. The /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file is configured as follows: default: set log Connect Physical async cbcp hdlc id0 ipcp lcp lqm sync tcp/ip timer Debug Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command set speed 115200 set timeout 120 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 add default HISADDR enable dns adsl: set device PPPoE:xl0 set authname username #authname & authkey values modified for privacy set authkey password set speed sync set cd 60 # a last ditch effort; neither set cd 5 nor set cd off produced satisfactory results An excerpt from /var/log/ppp.log of parts which I thought to be relevant (though that doesnt mean much, even in my opinion); due to the fact that I was (and am) getting quite frustrated, ppp was to log virtually all aspects of itself, but for the sake of email, I have attempted to trim it down (ever so slightly): ppp[263]: tun0: Phase: bundle: Establish ppp[263]: tun0: Phase: deflink: closed -> opening ppp[263]: tun0: Debug: List of netgraph node ``xl0:'' (id 1) hooks: ppp[263]: tun0: Debug: Creating PPPoE netgraph node [1]:orphans -> ethernet ppp[263]: tun0: Debug: Connecting netgraph socket .:tun0 -> xl0:orphans:tun0 ppp[263]: tun0: Debug: Sending PPPOE_CONNECT to .:tun0 ppp[263]: tun0: Warning: deflink: Reducing MRU to 1492 ppp[263]: tun0: Timer: timer_Start: Inserting physical throughput timer[0x80b1048] ppp[263]: tun0: Phase: deflink: Connected! ppp[263]: tun0: Phase: deflink: opening -> dial ppp[263]: tun0: Chat: deflink: Dial attempt 1 of 1 ppp[263]: tun0: Phase: deflink: dial -> carrier <<THE FOLLOWING SECTION REPEATS TO THE VALUE OF "SET CD [value]">> ppp[263]: tun0: Debug: Waiting for carrier ppp[263]: tun0: Timer: prompt /dev/tty: fdset(r) 0 ppp[263]: tun0: Timer: Select returns -1 ppp[263]: tun0: Timer: ---- Begin of Timer Service List--- ppp[263]: tun0: Timer: physical throughput timer[0x80b1048]: freq = 1.00s, next = 0.00s, state = running ppp[263]: tun0: Timer: ---- End of Timer Service List --- ppp[263]: tun0: Timer: timer_Start: Inserting physical throughput timer[0x80b1048] <<THE PRECEDING SECTION REPEATS TO THE VALUE OF "SET CD [value]">> ppp[263]: tun0: Phase: deflink: Disconnected! ppp[263]: tun0: Phase: deflink: carrier -> hangup ppp[263]: tun0: Debug: deflink: Close ppp[263]: tun0: Phase: deflink: Connect time: 11 secs: 0 octets in, 0 octets out ppp[263]: tun0: Phase: total 0 bytes/sec, peak 0 bytes/sec on Mon 2000 ppp[263]: tun0: Phase: deflink: hangup -> closed To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
