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.
No idea what it is that you are trying to accomplish. By switch, do you mean a physical rotary type switch, or an ethernet switch. The adsl lines I assume come into modems. Then you have an ethernet connection from the modem to the "switch". Why? Why would you want 4 ADSL lines? How are you going to route them? Then are you running pppoe on those lines? Is that what the relationship to ppp is?
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:
I really really think that giving us more information would help. What are you trying to do? Exactly how are you trying to do it?

Not surprising you cannot do proxyarp. The machines MUST be on the same subnet to do proxyarp.

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
Why? especially since it eventually works?
that. do you think it does any sense, or should I stop doing stupid things and put one nic per ADSL line?
If you are paid more than 10 cents per hour, that would probably be cheaper.
