my current problem is that my ADSL seems to drop out once a day, nothing in the logs to say why..
I had to write a perl script from crontab that queries google and then yahoo, and if it gets nothing from either.. it restarts the ADSL... works so far, but its a pain.. The only hint I get is a mesage like "timeout waiting for PAD0 packets" or something to that effect.. any ideas what that could be? and how i can increase that timeout value?? rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Peter Spotts Sent: Wednesday, 20 November 2002 7:51 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] PPPoE and Modem in tandem Anne, I share your pain. I was running MDK8.1 with ASDL as my default on a Compaq laptop. But I take my show on the road quite a bit and needed to use the dialer. Problem was, while the dialer would connect, the browser, email program or whatever wouldn't see the connection. I later ran into the same problem with Windows 98 and found that I had to shut down my ADSL software before I could get a dailup connection that the computer would recognize. So if I may rephrase your question: How can one deactivate pppoe once it's started so that ppp can have a clear shot at the connection in a way the software will recognize? Right now, because of my inability to figure that one out, I'm using WinXP on one partition and Linux on another on a new laptop...
