Hello everyone. Happy Holidays! I have been experiencing some recent intermittent issues at at least one of my client's sites where the DSL (PPPoE) connection is dropped, and all attempts to re-establish the connection by m0n0wall fail until the DSL modem and the m0n0wall are rebooted. I have included some logs, I hope the post doesn't end up being too long. I'd like to know if it is possible to determine who was/is responsible for initially dropping the connection, and ultimately, why the link can not be re-established without a reboot of the hardware. I feel that I must add that I have sometimes seen with WRAP and ALIX boards in the past that if you physically unplug and replug in an ethernet cable, even though the link/activity LEDs seem to be indicating all is well, the connection never comes back up. Same issue seen if switch where the WAN or LAN connection is connected is power-cycled. Is this important or relevant to my problem? Not sure. So, in addition to my PPPoE issue/question, I guess I am also asking: "If the pppoe connection is lost and mpd "cycles" the interface, could this be the reason that PPPoE can never be re-established? " Thanks for any thoughts on this. Software: m0n0wall v1.3b15 Hardware: PC Engines ALIX (3-port) Here is where the connection is dropped. This is the first time in the log where pppoe messages are seen - after the previous reboot which was about eight days earlier. --[snip]-- Dec 25 12:20:46 m0n0wall mpd: [pppoe] LCP: no reply to 1 echo request(s) Dec 25 12:20:46 m0n0wall mpd: [pppoe] LCP: no reply to 2 echo request(s) Dec 25 12:20:56 m0n0wall mpd: [pppoe] LCP: no reply to 3 echo request(s) Dec 25 12:21:06 m0n0wall mpd: [pppoe] LCP: no reply to 4 echo request(s) Dec 25 12:21:16 m0n0wall mpd: [pppoe] LCP: no reply to 5 echo request(s) Dec 25 12:21:16 m0n0wall mpd: [pppoe] LCP: peer not responding to echo requests Dec 25 12:21:16 m0n0wall mpd: [pppoe] LCP: state change Opened --> Stopping Dec 25 12:21:16 m0n0wall mpd: [pppoe] AUTH: Accounting data for user : 722993 seconds, 20675536808 octets in, 1188570556 octets out Dec 25 12:21:16 m0n0wall mpd: [pppoe] Bundle up: 0 links, total bandwidth 9600 bps Dec 25 12:21:16 m0n0wall mpd: [pppoe] IPCP: Close event Dec 25 12:21:16 m0n0wall mpd: [pppoe] IPCP: state change Opened --> Closing Dec 25 12:21:16 m0n0wall mpd: [pppoe] IPCP: SendTerminateReq #12 Dec 25 12:21:16 m0n0wall mpd: [pppoe] error writing len 8 frame to bypass: Network is down Dec 25 12:21:16 m0n0wall mpd: [pppoe] IPCP: LayerDown Dec 25 12:21:16 m0n0wall mpd: [pppoe] IFACE: Down event Dec 25 12:21:16 m0n0wall mpd: [pppoe] IPCP: Down event Dec 25 12:21:16 m0n0wall mpd: [pppoe] IPCP: LayerFinish Dec 25 12:21:16 m0n0wall mpd: [pppoe] No NCPs left.
