Help pls: No PPPoE DialIn possible … Errors in LOG
-
Hi,
i have a problem with pfSense2.0/Alix Box. There is some problem with the dialin. It's not working with a AVM FritzBox (acting as a pure DSL Modem) and i tried also a dedicated DLINK DSL-321b DSL Modem also … same same. I performed a pre-configuration at the company incl. DialIn user and password credentials ... but without connecting it physically to a modem! After sending it to my customer, it's not working properly!
Here's what's inside the PPP log all the time:
Nov 25 04:22:27 ppp: [wan_link0] Link: reconnection attempt 14 in 2 seconds
Nov 25 04:22:27 ppp: [wan_link0] LCP: Down event

Nov 25 04:22:20 ppp: [wan_link0] LCP: Down event
Nov 25 04:22:20 ppp: [wan_link0] Link: DOWN eventI searched the forum and found some posts, but things like re-entering the credentials in WAN Interface and so on didn't resolve the issue.
Does anybody have a clue what to do next - how to solve this … I would like to make just the neccessary modifications rather than to restart from scratch with the initial wizard (don't know if this would be the solution), cause i want to avoid to do this via phone with the customer :-\
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

I think it has something to do with with IMHO wrong settings in config.xml:
RIGHT WRONG
===== =====<ppps><ppp><ptpid>0</ptpid> <ptpid>0</ptpid>
<type>pppoe</type> <type>pppoe</type>
<if>pppoe0</if> <if>pppoe0</if>
<ports>vr1</ports> <ports>/dev/cuau0</ports>
<username>xyzxyz</username> <username>xyzxyzxyz</username>
<password>xyzxyz=</password> <password>xyzxyzxyz</password>
<provider>M-Net</provider> <provider>Telekom</provider>
<ondemand>on</ondemand> <ondemand><idletimeout>0</idletimeout> <pppoe-reset-type>custom</pppoe-reset-type></ondemand></ppp></ppps>I'll change this in config.xml, send this to my customer and will give a feedback …

For those who were interested: Changing the <ports>setting inside the XML to the proper interface was the solution (as i assumed before).</ports>
