I recently swaped ADSL isp's and have been experiencing pppoe issues ever since. Basically the issue is this, ppp connects fine, and the connection will work, but after around 45seconds the connection will stop receving data, even though all analysis reveals that we are still connected. After much fiddling with my config that was previously working fine with my old isp, I eventually gave up and decided to try connecting from other operating systems, this produced some strange results. Windows 2K + raspppoe: Exact same issue as FreeBSD Windows XP: Worked Flawlessly IPCOP (linux): Worked Flawlessly Linksys WRT54G (linux): Worked Flawlessly This to me is really confusing, why should FreeBSD and Win2K with raspppoe have the same problems, but Windows XP and Linux be unaffected? Shouldn't all the implementations be essentially the same? I tested FreeBSD 4.10, 4-STABLE, 5.2.1 and 5.3-BETA2 and all had the same issue. In any case, i am now quite sure that the problem is at the ISP end, and have got them to look into it, hopefully they can find a solution, but it still leaves me very confused, has anyone got any clues on what might be causing the problem? Thanks, Glenn.
