            i tried those 2 entries manually but after reboot the console started giving a lot of error related to unable to get interface ip etc so i guess ill wait for the next snapshot and try that out.

                      I can confirm the same problem here with alix and pppoe.
                      For me the Snapshot from 7. March is working but any newer is not.
                      The last I tried was Snapshot from 13. of March.

                            xbipin you are on wrong sources.
                            You are trying to start mpd4 which would not start with the config that is now.
                            You need to start mpd5 not sure why it tries to start mpd4 for you!?

                                when upgrading from 4th march to 13th march snapshot. With the newest snapshot of 15th march pppoe is still not working. I don't know the excat error log but I will provide it later.

                                    I'm getting the same issue here:

                                    My mpd_wan.conf looks like this:

                                    startup:

                                    open

                                    Where can I look for the version number ?

                                    I now that mine is 2.0Beta1 from march, 11 because is the file that I downloaded, there is a way to look at some file or in the web to find it?

                                    Best regards,
                                    Gabriel.

                                        Can you please try to configure a ng_tee(4) node through ngctl and see if everything is ok?!

                                          sir, im the windows guy so ull have to specify the exact commands to run or else i have no clue how to do what u said.

                                          bytheway, i tried doing a clean install but as soon as the WAN interface config is created for pppoe, then the mpd->file or directory not found error starts flooding the system log non stop

                                            what i think is the problem starts when creating the ng0 coz in mpd4 in console it used to say vr1 so the solution might be somewhere there when creating the node.
                                            –----- plz ignore if the above text makes no sense. ---------------
