Thankyou so much JC for all the helpand suport porvided :-) The office was closed since I got your mail so I could check out things only todday. > This modem/router you have actually has a http based administration > console built into the device and through the admin console you can > configure the device itself to do your PPPoE for you.

It would give the interface 192.168.1.1 IP while using dhcp and the router NATs packets to the internet IP. was not very much in favour of this because I was not sure the NATing speed of the router and how it would perfor under heavy load. I preferred to give the internet IP to the NIC and let OpenBSD do the NATing. So I called up the providers and they told me to reset the modem to factory settings and use Windows XP to connect to internet because they knew to configure pppoe on windows XP only when the modem is in the factory settings. I saw that my pppoe configuration get stuck in the phase pppoe0: phase authenticate so as bruno suggested I gave CHAP instead of PAP and re did all configurations from the begining and it is working. Thankyou JC for all the explanation once again :-)))) kind regards Siju
