Problems configuring PPPOE

Hello all,

when trying to connect using rp-pppoe I get a timout:

TIMED OUT
/usr/bin/adsl-start: line 193: 6305 Termiated $CONNECT "$@" >/dev/null2>&1

I tried some of the hints I found here, but no success.

Here are the important parts of the debug log of adsl-start:

The only thing I see is that the pppoe module is missing . Trying insmod pppoe gave unresolved symbols.
I just compiled a kernel with all the ppp integrated into it (not as modules) and will see if that helps.

Are there any hints from you??

Thanks

Chris

P.S. Oh, firewall is disabled and pppoe.conf should be ok.

This error message is the general error message that you get when pppoe cannot connect. It is equivalent to windows message .... Invalid username or password. When using Bellsouth the problem always seemed to be the password, I would have to call them get them to change to a 5 to 7 digit password that I specified (has to be exactly that size) and then it would start working. I doubt that it is a pppoe setup problem but either an account problem or something is wrong in adsl-setup. Let me know who your provider is and try the password change and see if that gets it.

Do I understand you right that rp-pppoe cannot handle longer passwords??
I used the rp-pppoe file I used with an older gentoo version (though I of course tried a knew one, too).

But the interesting thing is: I checked adsl4linux.de, probably the best source for infos on dsl in Germany. Though there is no howto for gentoo I used an alternative options file (no change) and connect script. And online I was.
now I will have to check the differences of the script (had no time yet).
But I guess it can only be an error in the startscript.

See you

Chris

Sorry I was not very clear on that. Using Bellsouth, the company that provides DSL in my area, it likes for passwords to be that length. It does not have to be this way for everyone though. Well sounds like you got it. Congrats and sorry for being misleading.

Perhaps you should run adsl-connect rather than adsl-start. I can't get adsl-start to run either.
