PPPoE doesnt work

Discussion in 'Tomato Firmware' started by famols, Feb 15, 2010.

    Hello,
    I have two Routers in my Network:
    a Sphairon Modem/Router with RouterTech FW (http://www.routertech.org/)
    and a Linksys WRT54G with Tomato FW.

    Currently I use the Sphairon as Modem and Router and the Linksys as a 2nd router in "downstream".

    Actually I want to configure the Sphairon only as a modem and use the Linksys as the only router.
    However I failed to achieve this so far (now we come to the point).

    1. Configure Sphairon in modem-mode, check
    2. check DSL-Link, ok
    3. Configure Tomato for PPPoE:
    Basic -> Network: WAN/Internet
    Type: PPPoE
    Username: same as in sphairon before
    Password: dito
    Service Name: {empty} <- what is this for?
    MTU: default
    4. Establish Internet connection, fail

    I also tried it with another (pure) modem, but it also didn't work.

    Am I missing something? Is there another setting, anything else I could try?

    Thanks so far

    Hi

    Some service providers use your PC MAC address in your account. Go to advance settings under MAC ADDRESS and clone your PC MAC address to the WAN Port.

    As for the service name, some providers require it, but that should be evident in your setup as router on the modem. If you did not use it there, then it should not be needed on the router.

    Hi Beast,
    thanks or your reply.
    I didn't used that before, so this is definitely not the problem (the Sphairon is not from the service provider).

    In the Sphairon is no field for the service name, so I guess an empty field in the tomato should work?

    Any other ideas?

    Service name shouldn't matter but you could enter something in there to see if it helps. Have you considered keeping it setup as a router and configuring your Linksys in a different subnet like 192.168.2.xxx? If you do try this only connect 1 cable form your Sphairon to the WAN link of the Linksys. Also disable any firewall on the Sphairon to avoid double NAT problems for clients connected to the Linksys.

    I forgot to tell you to enable logging on the Linksys with all options to see if the log tells you anything.

    Ah, obviously I didn't make myself clear here, that IS in fact my current setup (thats what I meant with "downstream"). But I don't think it is an elegant solution and by turning of all firewall settings, I'm afraid to make the Sphairon itself prone to attacks.

    Ah, thats a good idea! I just enabled them and will do some testings this week and come back with the logs.

    Thanks!

    I'm not really familiar with PPoE connection but this is certainly showing the connection is not being established. It looks like it can't netgotiate configuration options for LCP. Maybe that service field needs something in there to assist it.

    Ok, thanks.
    What does LCP mean?

    Could this also possibly be from a wrong setup in the Sphairon or does this mean the setup of the Linksys and Sphairon are correct (so far)?

    LCP (link control protocol) is the main component of PPPoE connections and basically controls your pppoe connection (it starts it, controls it and can close it.). Based on your log, it seems that your end and the other end of the connection are not agreeing.

    See, this is the problematic part of yours:

    Based on the bolded portions of your log, it looks like between you and the connection gateway, there are some configuration differences. I don't think it is your username/password but you should double check, and DSL (your connection type, right?) doesn't usually care about MAC addresses. So it is probably on the modem end that something is wrong, rather than your linksys router's end.


    EDIT: For more info on LCP, go here: http://www.tcpipguide.com/free/t_PPPLinkControlProtocolLCP.htm

    As you can see from the picture on that page, you are making a connection to the connection gateway but encounter problems while the router and "other end" are negotiating.

    Hello arafey,
    thanks for the information.
    Yes, my connection type is DSL, more precisely ADSL 2+.

    So I guess I have to check the settings in the sphairon again...

    Also besides the Basic -> Network: WAN/Internet, Type: PPPoE Settings there is nothing else to setup/configure for PPPoE in tomato?

    Another side note:
    In order to access&configure the sphairon in modem mode, I configured the following scripts in the tomato (someone at the RT-Forum provided them):
    in Init:
    Code:
    sleep 10
ifconfig vlan1:0 192.168.1.2
    in Firewall:
    Code:
    iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o vlan1 -d 192.168.1.1 -j MASQUERADE
    Just to check this shouldn't make any problems? (At first I tried without the scripts and it didn't work as well, but you never know...)

    TIA

    Hi
    Since it looks like when you setup ppoe on the linksys there is a protcol config error, i just want give you this info. It may or may not be of use.

    I don't know anything about the sphairon, but on my speedstream DSL modem there are actually three ways to configure it.

    1. PPoe and router function on modem
    2. Bridged mode---- ppoe on router or pc
    3. Bridged mode---- no ppoe used

    Initially the modem must be set up to use the proper protocol, which i did. And i used option number 1. But later i shifted ppoe to the linksys as you are trying to do. Now i use option 2. And im assuming the modem still retains the protocol settings.

    Do you have similar options in your modem, perhaps your present choice may be the same as option 3 on mine?

    Just a thought......

    You beat me Beast. If you are trying to have the Linksys to control the PPoE then the modem needs to be in bridged mode. So in Beast's example option 2 would be what needs to be used. --bill

    I must say I have the strange feeling, that it is really something stupid that I'm missing. Probably something like Beast mentioned - unfortunately there are no such obvious option labeled, but I keep looking...

    Thanks
