To clarify some misunderstanding - the log is from the ADSL modem/router and not my Linux box. It runs on an embedded Linux (busybox) platform. The userid/passwd are programmed into the modem and I have not changed them. PPPoE login fails when I do a "soft" reboot through a telnet session v/s a power cycle which in most cases ends up in a successful PPPoE login. -- Arun Khan Linux is like a wigwam - no gates, no windows, apache inside ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
