Hi list, I have some issues with PPPoE restart on several boxes in the field which use PPPoE in Germany. When I click "Restart PPPoE" in the status tab, the PPPoE connection sometimes stays open and after a while the status tab shows "no PPPoE status available".
Because this worked well for years, I guess we introduced this issue around the tine when we included the PPTP server in Astlinux 0.7.7 in March 2011. I tested this already with Lonnie. What I found out with manual testing, that I need to run - pppoe-stop - Now wait at least 160 second (otherwise I get errors that a duplicate MAC address is trying to connect (this seems to be provider related)). - pppoe-start The length of the timeout (delay) seems to be very important. Then it seems to work most of the time. The issues appears in Germany for standard ADSL lines from "German Telekom (T-Com/T-Online)" and "Hansenet/Alice". Does anyone else from the list saw those issues? I found those issues, when I was trying put the automatic forced disconnect every 24h by the provider into the night hours by a cron job.
