MyWireless & linux pppoe

[Adelante]

Hi

I just want to find out something here, that I seem to be a bit confused about.

I understand if you use the modem under windows (usb mode) u put in a number like *99#

and in linux, u use ATDT *99# with ppp

Now if I use the ethernet cable, obviously I will be using pppoe... now does that ATDT *99# fall away? because i cant seem to find out where you would use it / put it in.

With MyWireLess in pppoe mode, can I just set it up like i would do pppoe with a adsl modem or what?

Thanx
Dave

Hi

My system runs through a Smoothwall firewall (smoothwall.org).
No Number settings under PPPoE. Just user and pass.

Hope that helps

Actually it hasn't fallen away. It's just that that is the default to dial with the modem.

As I understand it, to use pppoe, ppp has to be setup correctly. What's the setup for ppp to use pppoe?

Eish!

i use pppd-2.4.2 with the RP plugin compiled setup is simple ...

the below is as i use it but i also allow dialup via POTS
/etc/ppp/options
------
multilink
endpoint MAC:eth0
nobsdcomp
nodeflate
maxfail 0
noipdefault
holdoff 10
ms-dns 192.168.0.8
ms-wins 192.168.0.8
----------
/usr/sbin/pppd sync plugin rp-pppoe.so eth1 mru * mtu * inkname main user *** defaultroute noauth persist nomultilink

you need to set up chap/pap secrets ...

the options above can be put into options and some options removed ...

As a matter of fact... Sentech system does not authenticate using PAP. You have to specify your login name and pssword in chap-secrets.
Do not forget 'name xxxxxx' option in options file xxxxxx must correspond to the appropriate entry in the chap-secrets file.
Works like a jumbo.
Aaaaaa... small thingie. For some reason drops a connection every now and then. I hacked it quickly with:
ifconfig | grep ppp0 || /etc/init.d/ppp restart which I put in the script file.
maybe not elegant but works, I run it every minute from the crontab.
/etc/init.d/ppp is correct for Debian, RedHat might have different syntax.
