Hi, I connect to my ISP using pppoe. This works fine in Fedora core 4, which has pppd version 2.4.2, and rp-pppoe version 3.5.
I recently installed Debian 4.0r5, which has pppd version 2.4.4 and rp-pppoe version 3.8. I tried to setup the connection using pppoeconf, but it could not find any access concentrators. So I setup /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider and /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/network/interfaces by hand. When I try to connect, ppp0 gets brought up (but has no assigned IP), and after a while, the following error appears in syslog: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests I tried changing the timeout, lcp-echo-interval, and lcp-echo-failure, without success. After some googling, I found some reports of things not working with ppp-2.4.3 that previously worked with ppp-2.4.2. I am considering trying to downgrade ppp on my new debian system, but I'm not sure how to do it properly. Debian's package directory doesn't have any versions of ppp older than 2.4.4. I could compile an older version by hand, but I'm a bit afraid that I'll break something if I over-write Debian's ppp with an older version that doesn't have Debian's patches. Any suggestions? thank you, -Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
