PppoE WAN Problem Authentication?
-
Hello,
I have setup pfsense successfully. Seems to be running fine.
Have a problem, using pppoe to dial to my ISP.I'm using a DSL modem in bridge mode, the modem connects fine, using annother router.
Using pfsense, and providing the same correct credentials as the other router, pfsens fails to connect with the follow log:

Dec 7 14:12:24 mpd: MAGICNUM 402a9c5fAs i understund, the problem is wrong credentials? ( mpd: MESG: user unknown)
I'd like to say that the username and password contain characters such us "@" and ".".
doing a cat at /var/etc/mpd.conf I can see that the correct credentials are in the configuration, that i have setup via the webConfigurator:
set bundle authname "xxxxx@xxxxxx.com"
set bundle password "xxx@xxxxx"Any ideas on what is the problem?
I'd like to state, that another router, using the same DSL modem in bridge mode, connects fine, using the same credentials. -
Some more interesting info:
This is the log from the other router that connects successfully
16:16:34 pppd pppd 2.4.4 started by root, uid 0 16:16:34 pppd Using interface ppp0 16:16:34 pppd Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyp0 16:16:35 pppoe PPP session is 13507 (0x34c3) 16:16:36 pppd PAP authentication succeeded 16:16:36 pppd kernel does not support PPP filtering
I can see that it's using PAP authentication.
At pfsense /var/etc/mpd.conf the following statements are enabled:
pppoe: new -i ng0 pppoe pppoe set iface route default set iface disable on-demand set iface idle 0 set iface up-script /usr/local/sbin/ppp-linkup set bundle disable multilink set bundle authname "xxxxx@xxxxxx.com" set bundle password "xxx@xxxxx" set bundle no noretry set link keep-alive 10 60 set link max-redial 0 set link no acfcomp protocomp set link disable pap chap set link accept chap set link mtu 1492 set ipcp yes vjcomp set ipcp ranges 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 set ipcp enable req-pri-dns set ipcp enable req-sec-dns open iface
I can see the "set link accept chap"
So is the problem related to the type of the authentication used?
Should i change to pap in pfsense?
