Immediate things to look at: Wireshark understands all the protocols in question so get packet captures of good and bad sessions (as similar as you can) and see what is different. (wireshark reads tcpdump files so it's easy to capture). also for fun you might look at the documentation for running mpd.. I dont' remember if it can do a pppoe SERVER but I vaguely remember that it can. > > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
