PppoE WAN Problem Authentication?

phoinix

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 14:12:03 mpd: MRU 1492
Dec 7 14:12:03 mpd: AUTHPROTO PAP

As 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?
