Hey all, Another go around today with LEAF/Bering. Learning a lot. I've configured the following files. /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-providers plugin /usr/lib/pppd/pppoe.so user user.name@sbcglobal.net noipdefault defaultroute hide-password icp-echo-interval 20 icp-echo-failure 3 connect /bin/true noauth persist mtu 1492 /etc/ppp/chap-secrets user.name * password /etc/ppp/pap-secrets user.name * password I've tried the above with and without quotes. Either combination yields the following from syslog: Plugin /usr/lib/pppd/pppoe.so loaded PPPoE Plugin Initialized pppd started by root, uid 0 Sending PADI And then just sits there... Depending on when I ifdown ppp0, syslog reports the following: invalid packet Ether addr:14:89:fa:bf:6c:6f PPPoE hdr: ver=0xf type=0x9 code=0xf1 sid=0x4aeb length=0x5489 (UNKNOWN) PPPoE tag: type=fabf length=6c6f (UNKNOWN) unrecognized data Failed to negotiate PPPoW connection: 4 Interrupted system call If I don't ifdown ppp0, it just sits at "Sending PADI" indefinitely. Any thoughts? Thanks again, Eric
