I am enquiring to know if anyone has setup a PPPoE service successfully, using the WARTA method, which I have read 4x, together with other howtos (handbook, etc) and now trying to adopt. I am starting out using just what it has and only changing the small bits that are specific to my case in an attempt at proof of concept. 1. Using ppp.secret, I am able to connect, but I cannot transfer any traffic. I cannot reach the outside world. I am assigning public IPs to the pppoe clients. I believe this is no sin. 2. With RADIUS enabled, I get the following in my ppp.log: Reply-Message "Check item failed." And thus authentication fails for my tests, but perhaps that is a RADIUS-centric problem so I will leave it pending for now. Let me concentrate on public IPs and the ability to allow the pppoe client access to the internet. My PPPoE concentrator (server) is a FreeBSD 5.5-PRERELEASE box. It has two interfaces. fxp0 has a public IP, a.b.64.58. xl0, the interface facing the pppoe clients also has a public IP, which is a.b.73.98 In my rc.conf, defaultrouter is a.b.73.97 My ppp.conf is like this: default: set log Chat Command Phase #turn on some logging. See man ppp.conf for info enable pap #turn on chap and pap accounting allow mode direct #turn on ppp bridging disable ipv6cp #we don't use ipv6, don't want the errors set mru 1472 #set mru below 1500 (PPPoE MTU issue) set mtu 1472 #set mtu below 1500 (PPPoE MTU issue) set ifaddr a.b.73.97 a.b.73.99-a.b.73.102 255.255.255.248 #Specify my wifi gateway IP as well as #DHCP pool range #set radius /etc/radius.conf #turn on radius auth and use this file set dns a.b.c.4 a.b.c.2 #our dns servers accept dns #turn on dns cacheing/forwarding My rc.conf has these: defaultrouter is a.b.73.97 Testing using ping -S a.b.73.98 to a.b.73.97 (which is a cisco router) works fine. A test using ping or traceroute from a pppoe client (Windows XP) does not work, and the client cannot access any IP services. ipfw is derived from the one in the WARTA document without changes. Should I suspect the ipfw, or should I suspect the configuration in my PPPoE server? My question is this: Should the ip addresses being assigned above be able to work? They are public IPs. If yes, then what could I be missing. -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html DISCLAIMER: See http://www.wananchi.com/bms/terms.php -- +======================================================================+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington Zzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +======================================================================+ Goldenstern's Rules: (1) Always hire a rich attorney (2) Never buy from a rich salesman.
