I'll sure look through them. > i've never used mpd but i've done some research on it. i'm attaching a > file in which you have a generator for mpd.conf for pppoe connections. > also i've noticed you have /36 for subnet? >> >> set ipcp ranges 64.238.118.143/36 64.238.118.145/36 That may have been a typo. Is this like DHCP in which it just hands out an address between these ranges? Or is this like security, where the address assigned to the end user must be between this range? The IP address my server is giving my PPPoE client is from the mpd.secret file, which looks something like this (working from memory): jbanks mypassword 64.238.118.211 Note that this IP address is not between the ranges shown above in the "set ipcp ranges." Maybe that is one of the problems? Also, my Mikrotik PPPoE client shows the default route to be that of the PPPoE server (64.238.118.136). That sounds right to me, but again, I don't know. >> set ipcp ranges 64.238.118.143/32 64.238.118.145/32 On the /32, I read somewhere that the PPPoE server will not pass subnet information to the client, just an IP address. I must confess the /32 on the above confuses me as to what it is there for? For the record, I came up with that from a config file I found on the Internet. It could be totally wrong for what I'm trying to do...but it was one of the few config examples I could find, so I ran with it. Thanks for the help, guys, Jay
