FreeBSD and PPPoE - 5.5-PRE

[Odhiambo Washington]

Hello there!

I am enquiring to know if anyone has setup a PPPoE service
successfully, using the WARTA method. I have read this document
4x and other documents as well but I am still stuck.

1. Using ppp.secret, I am able to connect, but I cannot transfer any
   traffic. I cannot reach the outside world.

2. With RADIUS enabled, I get the following in my ppp.log:

Reply-Message "Check item failed."

And thus authentication fails for my tests, but perhaps that is a


My ppp.conf is like this:

default:
 set log Chat Command Phase     #turn on some logging. See man ppp.conf for info
 enable pap                     #turn on chap and pap accounting
 allow mode direct              #turn on ppp bridging
 disable ipv6cp                 #we don't use ipv6, don't want the errors
 set mru 1472           #set mru below 1500 (PPPoE MTU issue)
 set mtu 1472           #set mtu below 1500 (PPPoE MTU issue)
 set ifaddr 62.8.73.97 62.8.73.99-62.8.73.102 255.255.255.248
                        #Specify my wifi gateway IP as well as DHCP pool range
 #set radius /etc/radius.conf   #turn on radius auth and use this file
 set dns 62.8.64.4 62.8.64.2    #our dns servers
 accept dns                     #turn on dns cacheing/forwarding


My rc.conf has these:

 xl0 (pppoed listens on this) set to 62.8.73.98
 fxp0 (my other nic) 62.8.64.58
 defaultrouter is 62.8.73.97
 ipfw is derived from the one in the WARTA document without changes.

My question is this: Should the ip addresses being assigned above be
able to work? They are public IPs. If yes, then what could I be missing
so far.
