I'm just looking to see how others connect their FreeBSD machine to the internet around here if they have a PPPoE connection. I thought mine was ok, as I never would be offline with one ISP (up to 5 weeks), but now I've changed ISP and my machine is no longer able to realize that the ppp link is down and needs to be renegotiated. I'm especially interested in knowing what 3rd party programs people use. For the networking guru's: I know for a fact my former ISP did not go 5 weeks straight without dropping my connection, they sent mail regarding downtime for repairs twice in that period. Is there something about one isp vs another one that can keep my machine from noticing when the connection is lost? Here is my ppp.conf: FIREWALL# ee /etc/ppp/ppp.conf default: ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE) set device PPPoe:rl0 set mru 1492 set mtu 1492 set timeout 0 set log Phase Chat Connect LCP IPCP CCP tun command set ifaddr 1.1.1.1/0 1.1.1.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 set cd 5 set crtscts on enable dns pppoe: # set mode dedicated set authname ******@magma.ca set authkey ***** set dial set login in my rc.conf, I've set it to connect on startup, in dedicated mode, and tried ddial today as well, running the process as root. I also have a ppp.linkup: MYADDR: Add 0 0 HISADDR If anyone sees room for improvement, or knows where I can inform myself on creating a neat hangup script that can kill the ppp process and fire up a new one, by all means let me know Thanks, Sandro M.
