Is PPPOE working for you guys?
-
let me get one thing straight, there is no mpd.conf change which causes it to work or to fail because it just fails and pppoe only connects fine on boot and never a successful reconnect is connection is dropped, the config i used during 1.2.3 is the same only that pfsense is now v2, i never touch any config at all as long as it keeps working as required
mpd_wan.conf

let me get one thing straight, there is no mpd.conf change which causes it to work or to fail because it just fails and pppoe only connects fine on boot and never a successful reconnect is connection is dropped, the config i used during 1.2.3 is the same only that pfsense is now v2, i never touch any config at all as long as it keeps working as required
You said before that an interface line was there one time and not the next when it worked and when it didn't. Now you are saying it doesn't change. The mpd_something.conf files are generated by the system, not by hand, so even if you don't think you changed anything, something may have changed. This is one of the ways that your information has been inconsistent.

i guess its just the confusion that's causing u to believe im being inconsistent, but if u check the logs etc i have provided now and since i started using pf v2 and reporting errors and bugs from then, the config hasnt changed much other than 3 things that were changed during the process of trying to produce logs
vj compression which i had issues with long time back
dial on demand which i also reported long time back and the way the connect button worked under interfaces
and currently the iface addrs thing which i tried to play around with to try and solve but didnt help that too once i came to know the actual location of the conf file from u or else i wouldn't have played with that too to try and solve itif u check logs u would see there isnt much info it produces to be able to figure out the issue and thats y i say its mpd where the issue is.

Jimp,
You have to see that I was in a pressing situation and I had to make a change or the customer would have outed me. I didn't have any time to do a lot of troubleshooting because this was going on for two weeks, I did not know there was more detailed logs in the /var/logs being new to pfsense. I though when you said system logs, you just mean the GUI system logs and I never saw any mpd or ppp errors. If this happens to me again heaven forbid I know which logs to send you. Go easy on me Dr. when it is sick I don't always know where to look for problems that is why I turned to you guys, I'm a rookie.
Believe me if I knew where to access all of these configs and logs I would have sent them. I really like pfSense and wanted to help others if they were in the same situation as me.
Thanks,

Is there definitive work-around solution to this? I just try to deploy this with version 2.0 RC3 and it does not seem to work.
Please advise.

I did have problems with PPPoE initially but 'Null service name' solved the problem for me. I do remember during initial configuration that the 'null service name' setting got lost (unchecked) but since re-checking it and rebooting, it hasn't happened since.
If it helps anyone, this is my working pfsense 2rc3 PPPoE config with Eti$alat

Thanks Thermo. So, your ppoe was default setting with ppoe login/password and did not work. And when you checked 'null service name' in advance setting, it started working?
Will give that try tonight.
-
probie: yes, that's correct, it worked when 'null service name' was checked but as I kept configuring/fiddling/reconnecting other interfaces, it stopped working and when I eventually re-looked at the PPPoE configuration, the 'null service name' was unchecked by itself.
This was a couple of months ago (April/May?) though, and I can't remember whether it was with the default 2 install or the daily update available on the firmware update page.
Do try rebooting after changing the PPPoE options. -

I used that "trick" since long time ago ( Since "Beta 5" till "RC3" ), and my PPPoE connection works fine.

null service name still doesnt do the trick for most others like me and its definately something to do with mpd
-
Thanks ptt / thermo. Checking the "null service name" worked with an isp in Germany.

Attached are four files. Here's how I got them:
1. Boot system fresh. PPPoE connected.
2.```clog /var/log/system.log | egrep '(mpd|ppp)' > ppp_working.txt
cp /var/etc/mpd_wan.conf mpd_wan_working.conf.txt3\. Pull plug on WAN NIC. Wait 2 minutes. Re-plug. (WAN not connecting) 4.``` clog /var/log/system.log | egrep '(mpd|ppp)' > ppp_not_working.txt cp /var/etc/mpd_wan.conf mpd_wan_not_working.conf.txt5. Reboot to working WAN.
Null Service Name is checked.
same here, mpd is the problem and i guess few others and myself have mentioned the same. some1 definitely needs to break apart mpd and have a look at its code

I split out the only recent report with info and am locking this thread as it's all over the place and the originally reported issues were long ago fixed and it's been hijacked a ton of times since.
