Very Computer

My PPPoE connection used to work and then it stopped.  Now it cycles through
PADI (Initiation), PADO (Offer), PADR (Request), PADS
(Session-confirmation), PADT (Terminate) and back to PADI again.
Suggestions as to what I am doing wrong are welcome.

Bob

ppp0 won't come up probably because:

Bringing up ADSL link:  .......TIMED OUT [FAILED]

Is there any way to create ppp0.  ifconfig keeps saying ppp0 does not exist.

Bob

ppp0 is created using pppd and I think this is the part
which is badly configured on your Redhat Box (7?)

ADSL seems to work fine:

you have: PPPoE Active Discovery Initiation (outgoing)
          PPPoE Active Discovery Offer      (incoming)
          PPPoE Active Discovery Request    (outgoing)
          PPPoE Active Discovery Session-Confirmation (incoming)
          PPPoE Active Discovery Session Termination (outgoing!)

just have a look at what happens in /var/log/messages...

... online again

I suggest you have a brief look at /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf, maybe
additional arguments supplied to pppd are incorrect. By the way...
try using a tool like Ethereal, it helped me a lot.
