[Replying to the original poster] pppoe is started by pppd, you shouldn't launch it directly. The Debian way of doing this is to simply rename /etc/ppp/no_ppp_on_boot to /etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot and customize as needed. Mine looks like this: -----/etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot----- #!/bin/sh PPPD=/usr/sbin/pppd ifconfig eth1 up 0.0.0.0 mtu 1500 -arp $PPPD call provider ----- Of course, pppd needs a /etc/ppp/peers/provider file as usual. Here's a sample: -----/etc/ppp/peers/provider----- user "******" pty "pppoe -I eth1 -T 80 -m 1452 -p /var/run/pppoe.pid" connect /bin/true noipdefault defaultroute hide-password lcp-echo-interval 20 lcp-echo-failure 3 noauth demand idle 300 lock ipcp-accept-remote ipcp-accept-local noaccomp nopcomp nocrtscts novj novjccomp nobsdcomp nodeflate noccp ----- This is for dial-on-demand. BTW: rp-pppoe is actually in Debian, the deb is simply called pppoe. -- Philipp Lehman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
