Re: [AFMUG] Newer Netgear PPPoE Issues

[Jesse DuPont]

Yes! The issue is that even though the PPPoE Server Name field in the router is blank (which would imply it would accept any PPPoE Server Name), it is really NOT blank. It ignores the PPPoE server name that your concentrator is sending and attempt to connect to a PPPoE server name of "ppp", which your concentrator denies because that's (presumably) not its name. So, you can either hard code your real PPPoE server name into the router or you can create a PPPoE server instance name called "ppp". I found this using packet capture when having the same issue.

Is anyone else having similar issues? -Jason
