I'M STUCK: pppoe client
-
Hi everyone,
I am trying to connect a pfSense router to a Centurytel DSL account. I use and love pfSense at home on a DHCP (cable modem) environment. However, this DSL account is giving me trouble. Currently there is a simple Linksys wireless router installed, and it works great. I have the correct pppoe user name and password, and even tried spoofing the pfSense's WAN MAC to match the Linksys MAC. I've never used BSD/UNIX/Linux in a PPPOE environment, so I really don't even know where to start… I plug the ethernet cable from the modem to the Linksys and it connects immediately. The modem is a SpeedStream 5260.
I found in the forum the document about ATT accounts may need <dnsnosec>key in the xml file, and have also tried this.
I get the following from the pfSense Log:

Does anybody have any thoughts or suggestions? I tried to do a packet capture on the WAN NIC, but it captures 0 packets.

Hrm…
Maybe a silly question, but have you tried rebooting the DSL modem after moving to the PFS box?
-
Yes. I even tried everything off, turn the pfSense box on and let it boot, then turn the modem on… same result.

Maybe if you followed the instructions here the additional configuration options may get you there.
