This seems that Mikrotik uses 'broadcast' mode for the ppp1, while BIRD uses 'ptp' mode. Try to configure Mikrotik to use ptp mode. And for some reason it ignores the Hellos from BIRD, perhaps it is because of different modes. You could also check whether ppp counterpart on Mikrotik uses reverse addresses (10.58.2.3 and ptp 44.208.58.1) than ppp1 on Linux. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santi...@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
