as a reply to myself, and to help out the one individual who actually did reply to my post ~ it turns out that FreeBSD v4.1-RELEASE works with my PPPoE connection perfectly ..it would seem that 3.4 contains a programming bug = for the more technically inclined, the PPPoE implementation in FreeBSD 3.4 does not seem to properly recognize the PADR packet sent by the access concentrator from the server end of the discovery stage; client-side PPPoE does transmit the initial PADI packet, and the remote server does send a proper PADR reply packet ~ but 3.4 PPPoE does not recognize it as such, and ignores the reply, thereby bringing PPPoE initialization to a grinding halt .i would suggest to mhf to upgrade to version 4.1-RELEASE; if that does not work, i am available at this email ~ i know what you are going through and i would be more than happy to help ----- Original Message ----- From: "mhf" <michael.flug@snet.net> To: "Samuel Lin" <joka83@hotmail.com> Cc: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Wednesday, August 02, 2000 08:56 Subject: Re: PPPoE issues: not connecting to remote peer on Earthlink ADSL connection > Yes Yes!!
