[lee Leahu]

hello,

i'm trying to get pppoe to work from linux.  i already have it working from windows nt and windows xp.

i am running suse 7.3 professional.
my kernel is 2.4.16-4gb (k_deflt made by suse)

i have these packages installed
smpppd-0.49-7 (and yes, smpppd is running)
ppp-2.4.1-170
rp-pppoe-3.4-1

my /etc/ppp/options file goes like this:

hide-password
lock
local
nocrtscts
sync
noauth
noaccomp
mtu 1484
mru 1484
noipdefault
noipx
novj
novjccomp
debug
username "(username)@covad.net"


my /etc/ppp/pap-secret is like this

"(username)@covad.net"     *      "(password)"


i have been trying to get this pppoe to work by running:
pppoe -I eth1

First you should look at www.suse.de/www.suse.com.
They have a very good support database:
http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/index.html

Good.

Don't needed any more.

As example for the German Telecom you need:

mtu 1492
mru 1492

It belongs into: /etc/ppp/peers/pppoe
#
# PPPoE options
#
plugin pppoe.so
#
# Plugin enables us to pipe the password to pppd, thus we don't have
# to put it into pap-secrets and chap-secrets. User is also passed
# on command line.
#
plugin passwordfd.so
#
noauth
usepeerdns
mru 1492
mtu 1492
# this is recommended
defaultroute
replacedefaultroute
hide-password
nodetach
# switch off all compressions (this is a must)
nopcomp
# this is recommended
novjccomp
noccp

pap-secret is empty autogenerate with YaST2 (SuSE 7.3)

Try with YaST/YaST2 (in this order).

Good luck.

I'm using the rp pppoe patch and 2.4.19-pre6.  I setup my options/user 
file and ran 'pppd eth0', worked perfectly the first time.

# cat /etc/ppp/options         
plugin rp-pppoe.so
name <username>
nodefaultroute

# cat /etc/ppp/pap-secrets 
<username> * <password>

# pppd --version
Warning: plugin rp-pppoe.so has no version information
Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded.
RP-PPPoE plugin version 3.3 compiled against pppd 2.4.2b1
pppd version 2.4.2b1

I don't use the DSL connection as my default route thus the 
'nodefaultroute' statement.

It works very well save for frequent but seemingly innocuous OOPses.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You don't need this, if you want to use kernel-pppoe. This is another
userspace-driver.

Change this to 1492. You also have to add the PPPoE-Modul. You'll find a
working config-file at [1]. Unfortunately with german comments, have a
look in "man pppd" to figure out what all the options stand for. It
could also be useful to activate "debug" and "kdebug 4" in the
options-file. So you'll get a lot of interesting infos in
/var/log/messages

^^^^^^^^^^
This have to be:  user "(username)@covad.net" (see [1]).

These are for Kernel-PPPoE with Kernel 2.2.x! With the options-file
above you only have to use "pppd eth1".

This is for rp-pppoe, not for Kernel-PPPoE!

Maybe you should post to the ppp-Mailinglist (linux-ppp at
vger.kernel.org).

Bye,
Michael
