Re: Cannot connect, but DSL light on?

Thanks for the quick reply buntrob.
I guess I'll just have to monitor the link you posted and cross my fingers it get sorted soon.
@tim are you having the same trouble?

@JagoTom sounds pretty similar - router has steady sync on FTTC, but can't get a PPP session running.
Lots of CHAP authentication failures being logged, but not much else.
Some sort of PN update would be handy but news doesn't seem forthcoming.

I'm off as well  and I suppose if past experience is to go by that will remain the same until Monday morning! Poor show Plusnet.

Re: Cannot connect, but DSL light on?

Kind of reassuring it's not just us.. Had just updated the router firmware before it died - spent most of half an hour assuming that'd broken something & resetting settings!
Hopefully PN are considering this a major outage & working on getting it sorted. Would be rather useful if someone thought about communicating that to the customers however, or managed to get around to posting the promised 20:00 update.

Soo.. how's that 20:00 update coming along then plusnet? Pretty poor communications around what is essentially a fairly major outage...

Are those suffering using Dynamic or Static IP?

Re: Cannot connect, but DSL light on?

The problem appears to be in establishing a PPP connection. This happens way before IP allocation.

Surely this can easily be diagnosed at there end? That's if anyone is really looking into it. Looks to be one or more of there authenticate servers is throwing a wobbly.

I can't imagine anybody will be working on this at midnight on a Friday night / Saturday Morning, since the promised update never appeared at 8pm, I guess they all went home hours ago.
