It wouldn't be a bad thing to see what led up to this point, but I suspect there isn't much more information available on this side. A good implementation of PPP uses the optional disconnection message in LCP Terminate-Request to report the reason why the connection is being dropped. Unfortunately, the PPP implementation used by your peer isn't good, and it doesn't do that. It's remotely possible that the disconnection is unrelated to DHCP and that it's just coincidence. That's why I suggested posting more of the logs. But I think it's just a very remote possibility. I'm afraid that most likely means that you need to talk with your ISP and find out if they have logs or error messages to share with you. My experience with most of these ISPs, though, is that there's nobody home at the other end, and the only thing you can really do is quit and find a better one. Your mileage may vary. > Dec 25 02:26:57 kaldra pppd[8185]: Failed to disconnect PPPoE socket: > 114 Operation already in progress Besides this apparently spurious error message, did the PPPoE client log any sort of message about the disconnection? -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W
