Re: [gentoo-user] Problem using the pppoe plugin

It seems that the mtu problem only occurs when you use the kernel module
and the ppp package. So this problem hit you when using the plugin from
ppp and not with rp-pppoe. From [2]: Warning: For people transitioning
from the rp-pppoe package, or for people who hit weird connection
resets, see the MTU section in the Troubleshooting chapter.

I don't think this is the correct configuration. I recommend you to read
here [1], [2] and the PPP section in net.example. The mtu problem is
explained there too.
Rp-pppoe is depreciated and has been integrated in ppp and I don't think
there is an option like "plugins_ppp0=("rp-pppoe")". But if you use
"plugins_ppp0=("pppoe")" the rp-pppoe plugin of the ppp package is used!
This here is from my logs:
pppd[19849]: Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded.
pppd[19849]: RP-PPPoE plugin version 3.3 compiled against pppd 2.4.4
pppd[19852]: pppd 2.4.4 started by root, uid 0
And my /etc/conf.d/net
config_eth0=("192.168.0.1/24" )
config_eth1=( null )
config_ppp0=( "ppp" )
link_ppp0="eth1"
plugins_ppp0=( "pppoe" )
username_ppp0='ar1435446276'
pppd_ppp0=(
"noauth"

"usepeerdns"
"holdoff 3"
"child-timeout 60"
"lcp-echo-interval 15"
"lcp-echo-failure 3"
noaccomp noccp nobsdcomp nodeflate nopcomp novj novjccomp

depend_ppp0() {
need net.eth1
}

Yep, otherwise it would not work at all, so looks like some
documentation needs to be fixed?

It is in the Section INTERFACE HANDLERS:
# Some users may need to alter the MTU - here's how
#mtu_eth0="1500"
> plugins_ppp0=("rp-pppoe")
Are you sure this line is correct?
According to net.example this are the plugins for PPP:
# Here you should specify what pppd plugins you want to use
# Available plugins are: pppoe, pppoa, capi, dhcpc, minconn, radius,
#radattr, radrealms and winbind
#plugins_ppp0=(
# "pppoe" # Required plugin for PPPoE
# "pppoa vc-encaps" # Required plugin for PPPoA with
an option
# "capi" # Required plugin for ISDN
#)
By the way rp-pppoe is depreciated in favor of the PPP Module see the
PPP and ADSL section for more information.

For me, "mtu 1492" in my pppd config script is sufficient. If that's not the case for you, you should try MSS-Clamping. You can do that using iptables, I could search for a proper iptables rule, but I don't have one at hand right now... -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Does this computer use the computer you're running pppd on as a router? It really sounds like an MTU issue ATM... -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
