vpnclient issues with pppoe dsl connection in suse 8.1
 

Hi,

If I start vpnclient before opening up my dsl connection (pppoe) I get the following output from my attempts to use the vpnclient.

spunky:~ # ipseclog ipsc.log

Then in /var/log/messages:

Then I can see cipsec0 device:

spunky:~ # ifconfig cipsec0

Then I run vpnclient:

I can see UDP traffic leaving my system with iptraf. I can not see any traffic coming in on my ppp0 device on iptraf.

If I go to a friends house and connect using dhcp I get further and get prompted for my username and password on the same system. If I boot into windows at home with the dsl connection I make it to that same point. I am wondering what cI am doing wrong here in linux. It seems that vpnclient does not like my pppoe connection on my linux system.

Any ideas here would be great.

Thanks,
