If so can anyone suggest an mpd config? YMMV with this answer because o- I use a TelCo supplied adsl modem. o- I've never had a problem with pppoe It's always just worked. The only real difference in the configuration of ppp for dialup and ppp for pppoe, in my case is: set device PPPoE:fxp1 It runs on tun[0-9], BTW but you must assign it to a free ethernet interface. In my case it is fxp1 - em0 is internal and fxp0 is a different isp with a partial E-1 as an example. My complete configuration, with some information changed to protect the innocent with xxxx, follows: default: set log Phase tun command # set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 set ifaddr xxx.78.18.xxx xx8.235.145.xxx 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0 telmex: set device PPPoE:fxp1 set authname xxxxxxxx set authkey xxxxx set dial set login add default HISADDR It starts from rc with the rc.conf entry # User ppp configuration. ppp_enable="YES" # Start user-ppp (or NO). ppp_mode="ddial" # Choice of "auto", "ddial", "direct" or "dedicated". # For details see man page for ppp(8). Default is auto. ppp_nat="YES" # Use PPP's internal network address translation or NO. ppp_profile="telmex" # Which profile to use from /etc/ppp/ppp.conf. ppp_user="xxxx" # Which user to run ppp as It runs as: # ps -ax|grep ppp 246 ?? Ss 1:47.42 /usr/sbin/ppp -quiet -ddial -nat telmex I suppose auto would work the same way as ddial but I just modified a dial-up configuration. Hope this gives you some idea. BTW, this is on current although I assume it doesn't change. ed
