AW: PPPoE to connect to T-DSL

[Schleich, Arno]

Cpghost,

Tx a lot, I managed to connect as root. Your ppo.conf was nearly identical to trhe one I had used with the exception to 'disable lqr' (I had it enabled) and 'set echoperiod 30'/ 'enable echo'. After adding these it worked, don't ask me why.
Still have the problem of no ppp as an ordinary user (member of wheel, network), Is there anything I need to do besides adding 'allow users <user_name> ?

Thanks, Arno

Hello Arno,

I know definitely that the following configuration works with
kamp-dsl, a provider that uses t-dsl (yes, on FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE).

/etc/ppp/ppp.conf:
------------------

default:
  set log local Phase Chat Connect LCP IPCP tun command

myadsl:
  set device PPPoE:rl0
  set MTU 1460
  set MRU 1460
  set dial
  set crtscts off
  set speed sync
  disable lqr
  set echoperiod 30
  enable echo
  disable deflate
  disable pred1
  disable vjcomp
  disable acfcomp
  disable protocomp
  set log Phase LCP IPCP CCP Warning Error Alert
  set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
  set login
  set authname <your_authname>
  set authkey <your_authkey>
  set timeout 0
  add default HISADDR
  set server /var/run/internet "" 0177

You can enable ppp at bootup by adding this to /etc/rc.conf:

ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_profile="myadsl"
ppp_user="root"
ppp_mode="ddial"
ppp_nat="YES"

Or run ppp manually like this:

# /usr/sbin/ppp -quiet -ddial -nat myadsl

Should you still not be able to connect, please have a closer
look at /var/log/ppp.log. You may also want to

# tcpdump -i rl0

to see if the PADI/PADO/PADR/PADS handshake completes
successfully.

Good luck!
-cpghost.
