I have read hundreds of web pages concerning iptables. Somewhere I read a detailed explanation about pppoe hanging and iptables solutions to that problem. However, I did not bookmark the page, as I use a single static IP. If you search (pppoe +iptables) and read long enough, I'm sure you'll run across this detailed page, so sorry I did not save the link.... hth, James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
