    Hi, the PPPoE problem persists. I just uploaded the firmware pfSense-Full-Update-1.2.3-20090223-1231 to my pfSense-1.2.3-snapshots-testing-box. As a consequence of this upgrade my PPPoE connection gets disconnected and I can not bring it up anymore.

    While the PPPoe connection refuses to work with that February 23 pfSense-1.2.3-Snapshot, in my system log appear these two lines, obviously concerning an authentication problem:

    mpd: mpd: empty auth name

    mpd: Warning: no secret for "" found

    I edited /var/etc/mpd.conf – there I find two lines concerning my authname and password. My Username and Password do appear here exactly and correctly like I wrote them into the PPPoE configuration menu for the WAN Interface.

    PPPoE connection worked with earlier snaphots up to pfSense-1.2.3-20090211-1551. So I compared my mpd.conf. from February 11 to that of February 23. They differ in just two lines.

    set bundle authname "my_adsl_username#0001@t-online.de"
    set bundle password "my_adsl_password" (Feb 11)

    set auth authname "my_adsl_username#0001@t-online.de"
    set auth password "my_adsl_password" (Feb 23)

    Any hints how to solve this PPPoE / MPD / WAN configuration issue or at least how to help in solving it are welcome.

    Regards,

    jaybird

      maybe  changing  "set auth" to "set bundle" in mpd.conf work

      set bundle authname "my_adsl_username#0001@t-online.de"
      set bundle password "my_adsl_password"
      ?

        Hi,

        it seems like the new interfaces.inc file was to blame. I have just changed these lines in my interfaces.inc – /etc/inc/interfaces.inc --.

        Where it said:

        set auth

        I changed it "back" to:

        set bundle

        After applying this somewhat quick & dirty change to the interfaces.inc file, PPPoE connection works again on today's 1.2.3-snapshot!

        Regards,
        jaybird

          Hi again,

          I have just re-applied my previously posted workaround for that PPPoE problem to the newest snapshot I could get:

          pfSense-Full-Update-1.2.3-20090223-1749

          Yes, it works.

          Bringing the PPPoE connection up again involved the following:

          Diagnostics: Edit File

          Save/Load from path: /etc/inc/interfaces.inc

          Now looking for lines saying:

          set auth

          (I found four "set auth" lines in my interfaces.inc)

          Then changing every instance of set auth in interfaces.inc to:

          set bundle

          Save these changes to: /etc/inc/interfaces.inc

          Interfaces: WAN

          PPPoE configuration

          save

          (Yes, save it again.)

          Status: Interfaces

          PPPoE

          connect

          (waiting some 30 seconds…)

          Done!

          And accordingly (things change back to):

          WAN interface (em1) 
          Status up 
          PPPoE up

          Loaded text from /var/etc/mpd.conf

          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 "my_adsl-username#0001@t-online.de"
          set bundle password "my_adsl_password"
          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

          Any suggestions, feedback or comments on this issue is most welcome. I wonder if some of you tried that trick described above, and if there are known yet better solutions for the PPPoE problem at this time.

          Regards,

                  Had the sma problem and this fixed the issue. Could a dev fix this in the code?

                          It seems the patch was first applied to that version. I had the same problems with the version you mentioned, but the latest build fixed it.

                            Yes it is working. Evidently I needed to state that I didn't go back in time to fix it, look at the time of my post and the time of your snapshot… Changes aren't going to magically appear in snapshots that were built 14-15 hours prior.

                              a. SaintPaul : thank you  for your suggestion

                              I tried : 1.2.3-PRERELEASE-TESTING-VERSION

                              and works fine

                              b. cmb : thank you for your fix , I appreciate your efforts, concerning "Changes aren't going to magically appear in snapshots that were built 14-15 hours prior" , consider that Internet is Global and there is a term called "time difference" , the thing i did after reading your post in this thread was to test the latest available snapshot, sorry if i was misunderstood.
