I have CenturyLink DSL, and I use the user-space ppp program in FreeBSD 9.1 to make the PPPoE connection. From time to time (every few days) the connection freezes up—no more data can be sent or received. No error shows up in ppp.log; all I can see there is that there are no more RecvEchoRequest and SendEchoReply entries after the connection freezes. If I send SIGINT to the ppp program, it reconnects just fine.
I talked to CenturyLink's tech support, and they said that one of the times that I had a problem, the connection was dropped on their end, but the others it was fine. My ppp command line is ppp -nat -ddial centurylink My ppp.conf: default: set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command disable ipv6cp centurylink: set device PPPoE:rl0 enable lqr set authname balholmand...@qwest.net set authkey ######## set dial set login add default HISADDR Is there a setting I can add to ppp.conf to make it detect when the connection freezes? Or is there something else that I need to fix?
