hi all. first of all, I'm not suscribed to this list, so please cc: me in the answers. I hope my preventive cc: to myself does the work for you; just «reply-to-all». I'm setting up a machine with 4 ADSL lines connected to the same nic via a switch. I'm not sure this is `supported´ or if I should add the 3 extra nics it `should´ have. this setup semms to give me problems, but before going the one-nic-per-line, I wanted to ask here. the problem is that sometimes, when I try to bring the 4 lines up, I get logs like this: Jun 1 12:21:16 pigmea pppd[14214]: Received bad configure-ack: 05 06 35 a7 70 57 07 02 it goes like this on and on. this is mostly haoppening for 2 of the pppd at the same time. it logs that for a long while, then it logs this: Jun 1 12:10:37 pigmea pppd[14155]: PAP authentication succeeded Jun 1 12:10:37 pigmea pppd[14155]: Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP Jun 1 12:10:37 pigmea pppd[14155]: local IP address 200.82.94.132 Jun 1 12:10:37 pigmea pppd[14155]: remote IP address 200.3.60.3 Jun 1 12:10:37 pigmea pppd[14155]: Connect time 0.0 minutes. Jun 1 12:10:37 pigmea pppd[14155]: Sent 0 bytes, received 0 bytes. Jun 1 12:10:57 pigmea pppoe[14216]: Session 21522 terminated -- received PADT from peer Jun 1 12:10:57 pigmea pppoe[14216]: Sent PADT Jun 1 12:10:57 pigmea pppd[14155]: Modem hangup Jun 1 12:10:57 pigmea pppd[14155]: Connection terminated. I'm starting to think that those are configure-acks `routed´ to the wrong pppd, because if I bring up one line at a time, all establish the connection succesfully. I just wanted to make sure I was reaching to the correct conclusion. also, would it be possible to make pppd abort if too much bad configure-acks? since I'm the one with the problem, I'm interested in hacking that. do you think it does any sense, or should I stop doing stupid things and put one nic per ADSL line? -- Marcos Dione Departamento de Cómputos Facultad de Ciencias Químicas - UNC ---------------------------------------------------------------- Facultad de Ciencias QuÃmicas - Universidad Nacional de CÃrdoba - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ppp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
