You are sending a Host-Uniq tag in the PADI. I have this funny feeling that my ISP doesnt like that. I'm in the middle of running some tests to see what happens when I change pppoe_start() to not insert that tag in the PADI. (Yes. I know that this might break some things, but I want to see if my ISP actually emits a PADO in response to the modified PADI) > What service does your ISP want you to request on the wire? You know, I havent a clue. I'm currently not set up to sniff the windows client when it operating. > (You have a null service, that is legal but some ISPs want you to actually > ask for a particular one.) I know. However, based on some code I had written before, my ISP responds quite happily to a PADI containing a NULL Service-Name. Rumor has it, that my ISP (Sympatico in Canada) isn't quite on the ball when it comes to a compliant PPPoE implementation. I'll let you know what I find out. Presuming that Sympatico continues to barf on the Host-Uniq tag, are there any workarounds? josh -- "To succeed in the world, it is not enough to be stupid, you must also be well-mannered" -- Voltaire To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
