Subject:   PPPoE + ADSL (Telstra Bigpond) Question

Hello,

I've been struggling with a new ADSL connection (using PPPoE) from a 4.1.1 
Release system. Can anyone help me with it please?

I have been through the man pages, FreeBSD handbook and many usenet posts. 
I've got a custom kernel running and have netgraph statically compiled in 
the kernel (I've tried using it as modules too). I've tried a few different 
ethernet interfaces and different IP numbering of the interfaces and I've 
tried multiple configurations of ppp.conf. I can attach any info you think 
might help you help me but I'll keep it lite for now.

What I think it comes down to is this. My ISP (Telstra Bigpond in Australia) 
has one access concentrator, called nkt1-kent, which offers multiple 
services, the one I need is called bigpond. These details are consistant 
with the Windows software (EnterNet) and Linux software (Roaring Penguins 
PPPoE) I have had working previously over this link. Unfortunately I don't 
have a tcpdump of the Windows & Linux discovery traffic but here's what 
FreeBSDs looks like...

13:16:45.444478 0:20:35:73:59:e6 Broadcast 8863 39: PPPoE PADI [Service-Name 
"bigpond"] [Host-Uniq UTF8]

13:16:45.503271 0:90:39:47:0:3f 0:20:35:73:59:e6 8863 179: PPPoE PADO 
[Service-Name] [Service-Name "telstra"] [Service-Name "cmux"] [Service-Name 
"bigpond"] [Service-Name "n7061992k"] [Service-Name "n2155202k"] 
[Service-Name "n2155201k"]

13:16:45.503342 0:20:35:73:59:e6 0:90:39:47:0:3f 8863 52: PPPoE PADR 
[Service-Name "bigpond"] [AC-Name "nkt1-kent"] [Host-Uniq UTF8]

13:16:45.561031 0:90:39:47:0:3f 0:20:35:73:59:e6 8863 62: PPPoE PADS 
[Service-Name-Error "SvcName Tag Error"] [AC-Name "nkt1-kent"] [Host-Uniq 
UTF8]


... what's going on? As I read the traffic the AC offers it's services 
(PADO) one of which FreeBSD accepts (PADR) only to have the AC respond that 
the Service Name (or it's tag) is incorrect. Yet the service name requested 
in the PADR frame is one of those offered in the previous PADO frame. The 
connection doesn't get any further than this (FreeBSD keeps trying to accept 
the service but keeps getting rejected).

Any ideas?

Thanks
Aaron Hill
