ok, my /etc/modules looks like this: --snip-- alias eth0 8139too alias eth1 starfire --snip--
The 8139 is the "good" one. The starfire is i think an intel card, I don´t get it running in full-duplex.
Now, the eth0 for dsl is configured as follows. The /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts//ifcfg-eth0 looks like this:
--snip--
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR=0.0.0.0
NETMASK=255.255.255.255
GATEWAY=255.255.255.255
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=no
NETWORK=0.0.0.0
BROADCAST=0.0.0.0
--snip--
I know, I should use mtu 1492 when using linux as a gateway, but funny thing for me it also works with 1500 without any problem.
Now, when I start the network /etc/rc.d/init.d/network start
the eth0 is up: (ifconfig)
--snip--

I have a flat rate, so I don´t use any dial on demand. I start the pppd, and someday I will stop it again (usually when shutting down the machine.)
I start it by:
--snip--
/usr/sbin/pppd pty "/usr/sbin/pppoe -I eth0"
--snip--
My /etc/ppp/options looks like this: --snip-- connect /bin/true noauth ipcp-accept-remote ipcp-accept-local noipdefault defaultroute user "username" hide-password debug noaccomp nopcomp nocrtscts lcp-echo-interval 20 lcp-echo-failure 4 lock nodetach --snip--
At last I edited the pap-secrets aka. the chap-secrets. Since I start the pppd manually I don´t have to edit any cinfiguration files...
Then a connection will look like this. First he received a timeout then he connected...

I don´t know, If your provider might act in some other way. Start the pppd manually and try to play with the options of pppoe, to get some more (debugging) information.
I am not sure anymore, if I downloaded the package from roaringpenguin anew. I am running rp-pppoe version 3.5.2.
Let me know your next steps and hopefully success.

OK, I've tried the two ethernet cards that I have and neither one seems to work. I've also been trying to change the mtu value on the card via 'ifconfig eth0 up mtu 1492' or something similar.
Any ideas on how to make my existing cards to work?
Thanks! Blake (redhat 9, almost)
Hi there.
I had a similar problem!
Try to change your ethernet card. It worked for me. Strange think. On RedHat 7.3 I had normal half-duplex-card connected to the modem. Eerthing worked fine. It took me days to figure it out. May something was changed in the drivers/modules.
When I connected the modem to the other ethernet card, a full-duplex-card, I could connect again!!!

I'm struggling with pppoe using rp-pppoe. I've used the adsl-xxxx scripts and I keep getting the messages:
PADO packet timeout
(or something very similar)
My reading of the adsl documentation says that this is likely to be a problem on the provider's side of things. In the logs I can see the PADI packet is sent by me. I've called the provider (SBC) and they tell me that everything is working fine and that it is my problem (put that together with the fact that I'm not using windows too).
Any ideas? It was working fine under redhat 8.0, but now I can't get it to work under redhat 9.
Oh, and my modem lights: power light is on, dsl light on, eth light is on, but the activity (act) light is never seen (it will come on when I power on the modem).
Thanks for any help! Blake St Louis
