Sorry for posting it here but I remember to have received help from some people in this mailing list with pppoe problems in the past. I have T-DSL (Telekom) with a non Telekom provider (kamp-dsl.de) and since I upgraded my FreeBSD 4.4 gateway box to newer hardware and FreeBSD 5.0R, now 5.1-current, I'm having lots of trouble: The normal pppoe connection is very unstable. My box is supposed to be online 24h/d (flatrate, fixed IP) but it is very often not reachable from the outside world. It seems that I can 'wake up' the pppoe connection from the inside, when I initiate some network reference to the outside or I have to reboot the box. What I see is lots of 'no matching session' messages. This comes from the netgraph ng_pppoe.c module. I have a cron job every 5 minutes that does an ntpdate to some timeserver but the 'no matching session' messages don't seem to be correlated with this: May 18 18:58:32 www kernel: no matching session May 18 18:58:32 www kernel: no matching session May 18 19:02:37 www kernel: no matching session May 18 19:05:52 www kernel: no matching session May 18 19:05:53 www kernel: no matching session May 18 19:17:16 www last message repeated 5 times May 18 19:26:02 www last message repeated 4 times May 18 19:37:18 www last message repeated 5 times May 18 22:07:37 www kernel: no matching session May 19 00:42:38 www kernel: no matching session May 19 03:06:23 www kernel: no matching session I don't want to speak of the not working VPN client (mpd) for the moment, which seems to eat up memory and ends in the ng0 interface being not available and 'no buffer space available' when trying to ping anything through pppoe after that has happened. Clueless at the moment. -- Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kukulies@rwth-aachen.de
