They've been doing this quite happily for a few months, but now one of the boxes is sick. [ Disclaimer: I'm 150 miles away from the box, so I don't have exact log messages. What you see below is my simple paraphrasing. ] What is happening is that when ppp starts on bootup (ppp -quiet -ddial pppoe), the last entry is "dial -> carrier" and nothing else. Normally we get a "PPPOE hook suceeded (tun0)" message after that and it goes into the LCP/IPCP phase. I'd like to point the finger at the ISP (since they've had fun dropping connections in the past and they swapped out the modem without telling us -- long story, don't ask), but need to know how to interpret this message. Are we not getting any further because a) ppp can't talk to NETGRAPH, b) NETGRAPH can't talk PPPoE to the DSL modem (bad NIC) or c) DSL modem isn't passing along our data to the ISP (bad ISP.) -- Matthew Emmerton || matt@gsicomp.on.ca GSI Computer Services || http://www.gsicomp.on.ca To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
