Hello All,
A client of mine was happily using Mandrake 10.1 on his system for 2 years. About 6 months ago the cable guy switched over to PPPoE using raspppoe. So I had installed rp-pppoe for linux and everything was fine. Now they have again made changes like no static or dynamic ip assignment. The guy claims that he has only replaced a defective switch but now the rp-pppoe is not able to detect any access concentrator. Raspppoe works fine in windows and can establish a connection. The customer has totally moved over to linux so is handicapped without any internet connection. Please help with any suggestions.
Regards,
Rony.

Is there someone in the neighbourhood on the same ISP. Just check his ip before and after connect.
I can do that in the same machine itself in windows. I had tried to fake the client's earlier static ip but that too did not work at that time. I windows, his ip is set to dynamic and there is no dhcp server at the other end. What could be the changes made to the service that rp-pppoe cannot detect any AC? Right now he is surviving on dialup using his ext. modem.

Rony.

Not really the answer you are looking for, but consider switching to mtnl instead. It is way better than depending on the local cable internet guy. Specially if the user is a business (not residential) connection, MTNL makes good sense actually.

They have decent packages for resedential too. Including one that has only download costs - no fixed or upfront - for the occasional user.

The client consulted his friends and office colleagues and they collectively advised him to stop using linux as no one really knew how to use it and it was not compatible to the cable. The client has decided to switch over to M$, though he says he wants to do this only till triband is installed in his house. Only time will tell.
