MPD PPPoE Server

Just a note that I did get the server to work.

Yes, enabling proxy-arp seems to have fixed the problem.

It must be possible, because I only have one NIC and it is working

With a shared 1.5 Mpbs T1 line, I did a speed test and got 1.2 down
and 800 kbps up.

The only thing I need to do is figure out is some IP address issues.

I configured the following range in mpd.conf (not my real IP addresses):

set ipcp ranges 64.238.118.143/32 64.238.118.145/32

In mpd.secret, I configured:

jbanks          "mypassword"      64.238.118.144/24


When I connect with my Mikrotik PPPoE client, it shows
that it was dynamically assigned the IP address of 64.238.118.144
by the PPPoE server. And it shows a default route of:

             Default route 0.0.0.0/0 gateway 64.238.118.143

It also shows: Destination network 64.238.118.143 Pref. Source 64.238.118.144


Now the PPPoE server is located at 64.238.118.136 and 
64.238.118.143 is an unassigned IP address.

Everything seems to work fine, but I'm not sure how or why the Mikrotik
client is getting a destination network of 64.238.118.143...other than,
that IP address was the first address in my set ipcp ranges command.

What should the default network be, exactly? The PPPoE server
IP address (64.238.118.136) or the network gateway (64.238.118.1),
and how exactly can I pass that to the Mikrotik client correctly from mpd?


Thanks for the help, guys!
