Hi

I have installed Debian Woody 3.0r4 and I am having problem configuring PPPOE, I am dual booting and I am able to use pppoe under Red Hat 9.

What is the error ?. I just setup one box for a friend with pppoe. modconf (pppoe).

I get following error when I tail -f /var/log/messages | grep pppd

Remote message: E=691 LCP: timeout sending Config-Request

I tried all mtu settings, also changed user name in all files i.e dsl-provider, pap-secret to loginname@domainname.net. Also I added -C AccessConcentrator name but no luck.

Just run pppoeconf. When u r prompted for changing the default mtu select no.Check your /etc/ppp/options file and make sure that the mtu is commented out (default mtu = 1500) as your previous configuration could have changed that.That should solve the problem. If not reinstall pppd and then run pppoeconf.

My cable operator (Rajeev Video / Kurla) is not in a position to help me.

Clickhere clickthere. That is all they know. But the technician from the ISP got very interested in GNU/linux after seeing it in action (Opened a mail with some .scr worm) and understanding the rudiments of a GNU/Linux based service model. I will be giving him woody and knoppix.
