Hi,
I've googled high and low and have not been able to resolve this issue. I appreciate connecting in this manner is not supported but just wonder if anyone else on here has managed it.
I have a debian machine that I intend to use as my internet router, have used it previously when I had virgin broadband. I installed pppoeconf and have been dogged by chap authentication failures. Log is shown below:
FYI on the configuration of the physical eth1 interface and in the dsl-providers file I've played with various MTUs as a result of my google search and none have worked.
Note: I've put stars in the username and passwords to save spreading them all over the place on the forums. I can totally verify that the credentials are correct, I've checked them so many times for exact characters and case.
Eth1 is plugged directly into the modem.... I can also verify that when I use the supplied plusnet router the connection works fine.

My current pppd config is (/etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider)
#Plusnet Broadband
# Use the pppoe kernel module.
plugin rp-pppoe.so eth1
# Name this connection as ppp0.
unit 0
user *******@plusdsl.net
# No default IP; allocated dynamically by ISP.
noipdefault
# Try to get name servers from ISP.
usepeerdns
# Use this connection as the default route.
defaultroute
# Replace the default route if already present
replacedefaultroute
# There is an 8 byte overhead for PPPoE; however,
# we are using baby jumbo frames of 1508 on eth0
# to account for the extra 8 byte overhead.
mtu 1500
mru 1500
# Exclude password string when logging packet contents.
hide-password
noauth
# Try to reopen the connection if it is terminated.
persist
The secrets file (/etc/ppp/chap-secrets)
# Secrets for authentication using CHAP
# client server secret IP addresses
"*******@plusdsl.net" * "**********"
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Cheers
