Hi all,

I'm having problems with pppoe. Well, it successfully connects to our router, but still no internet..and any user with it's password conected to router should be able to pass trough to internet... It works on windows..
Firewall is disabled..
Not sure what other info should I supply...
Thanks!

Something's not jiving here - you're trying to make a PPPoE connection through a router, from your PC?

The router itself should be establishing the PPPoE connection (unless you have it bridged, then it's nothing more than an expensive hub). If your router and your modem are separate units, your router should still be the network entity making the connection - every computer in your network should just be getting an IP address from the router, and then sharing the internet connection.

No, no, let me explain it better:
-->cable modem--<>--router--<>--network
So, every user must authorize and connect to router with pppoe connection, and only after that he is let to the internet..
And I can connect to router with pppoe connection, and it successfully authorizes, but still..

Router is always connected, it's also a firewall too..

Yes, that's the case ... but... no internet..

Btw, I found this in logs:

Nov 8 11:28:10 localhost pppd[22657]: invalid numeric parameter 'lcp-echo-failure' for lcp-echo-interval option
Nov 8 11:28:10 localhost adsl-connect: ADSL connection lost; attempting re-connection.

And it loops forever..

I know what is this, but I'm not sure I ever configured these options ...

Anyway, how could I fix this?
Thanks.

It might help if you explain what is the case, exactly?

From what I understood, your router is connected via pppoe to a modem.
if there is internet to your router, then you dont need to set up pppoe for your computers that connect to it. Can you just set them as dhcp?

I mean if you have the average home network connection with a router, a few lan PCs and the occasional wireless laptop/PS3.

Can you tell me how your setup is? How many PCs are there, is it a home network, Is it your own router, etc.

Ahh, not. Router box is connected "directly" to modem, and it also serves as a firewall.

Yes, but not all, only those who connect(pppoe) to router box..
That was the case earlier, but now I don't want all users be on the internet 24/7 (bad for bandwith etc), but only after they connect to router box(read when they need it), and now I have (better) control over them , can limit their bandwith, forbid p2p, xxx etc..


It's company network with about 25+ users and they have to go to the internet for their usual work... and about 30 users who don't.
So actually, all users can log on to router box, and after verification (that they are in 25+ group), router box let them go to internet.

Anyway, still from my linux box(CentOS 5) I can pppoe to router box, and successfully connect to it, I get my ip, dns settings from it..etc.. but still no internet.. while from my windows pc everything is great.. I'm using same username and same password, + router isn't configured to lock my internet connection to my windows pc IP or mac address or anything like that...

I don't know what else should I do?..

Power cycle the modem and router, and restart the computer.
Heh - that was our motto at Verizon.
