I could only get a response from the PPPoE server 7 hours later.. just to get stuck on: Too many LCP requests sent - abandoning negotiation. It would be nice if some PPP guru could explain what that error means (apart from too many LCP requests have been sent, and the driver is abandoning the negotiation) Any feedback is VERY MUCH welcome :-) Regards, Hugo >> Hugo Silva (klr@6s-gaming.com) [040829 08:53]: >> >>> Today I went to a friend's house to install FreeBSD on his workstation, >>> trying to make him change to open source software.
