I'm having problem connecting to my isp with my sangoma s518. Everything seems to run smooth and wanrouter are training to connect....but forever.. Now, to test the connection i mounted up my standard nic and my old dsl router, to establish a standard basic pppoe connection..... and I can't with centos. I follow this standard setup: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s1-network-config-xdsl.html tested on two different centos installations, but no. I spent 4 hours I think and needed two minits on my debian installation. Both rp-pppoe and ppp are installed, please someone tell me what am I missing before I totally loose it :-) ? kai # tail -20 /var/log/messages Aug 29 21:40:35 localhost pppd[21465]: pppd 2.4.2 started by root, uid 0 Aug 29 21:40:35 localhost pppd[21465]: Using interface ppp0 Aug 29 21:40:35 localhost pppd[21465]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/4 Aug 29 21:41:06 localhost pppd[21465]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests Aug 29 21:41:06 localhost pppd[21465]: Connection terminated.

It might seem trivial, but I got burned with it once. Also check that you pointed it to correct Ethernet interface. If the modem is directly connected to the Ethernet interface (in other words, it is used only as connection to the modem) you want to have that Ethernet interface in UP state, but with no IP address on it (well, at least in default config). You could do something like "ifconfig eth0" or "ip addr show dev eth0" to check if the interfaces is up or down (you should see word UP in the flags). For example, your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (assuming we are talking about eth0 interface here) should look something like: DEVICE=eth0 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none HWADDR=_mac_address_of_interface_here_ TYPE=Ethernet Than you'd simply bring it up with "ifup eth0" command (if it was down). -- NOTICE: If you are not intended recipient, you are hereby notified that by reading this message you agreed not to disturb frogs during mating season.
