 |
|
Hi,
My laptop has a working wlan card which I use normally with WEP and unenrypted, the only problem is that I also want to be able to use it within Uni.
As far as I know to connect to the "nomadic" service around Uni I have to connect via PPPoE to get an IP address and a connection and then connect via PPtP to get a full working connection.
I'm am still stuck trying to get the PPPoE bit to work. I think half my problem is that there seems to be so many different ways to set up PPPoE. To connect I have been told via admin staff that I have to connect using CHAP. Even though I have:
| Code: | refuse-eap
refuse-pap
require-mschap-v2 |
in my /etc/ppp/options-pppoe it was still trying to connect via PAP.
In a desperate attempt I deleted an old /etc/ppp/pap-secrets that used to be used for a dail-up connection. Now it trys to connect via EAP when I issue adsl-start.
To further complicate that matter I have read that you can set /etc/conf.d/net to something like this:
| Code: | config_wlan0=("adsl")
adsl_user_wlan0="df3804" |
Does that still read settings from /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf and /etc/ppp/options-pppoe?
I am now completely stuck, I could REALLY do with some help. Even if there is just someone who is not too sure but has an idea please let me know, I'm willing to try anything.
Here are the config files that are relevent (in my opinion):
/etc/ppp/pppoe.conf (done via adsl-setup):
| Code: | ETH='wlan0'
USER='df3804'
DEMAND=no
#DEMAND=300
DNSTYPE=NOCHANGE
PEERDNS=no
DNS1=
DNS2=
DEFAULTROUTE=yes
CONNECT_TIMEOUT=30
CONNECT_POLL=2
ACNAME=
SERVICENAME=
PING="."
PIDFILE="/var/run/$CF_BASE-adsl.pid"
SYNCHRONOUS=no
CLAMPMSS=1412
#CLAMPMSS=no
LCP_INTERVAL=20
LCP_FAILURE=3
PPPOE_TIMEOUT=80
FIREWALL=NONE
LINUX_PLUGIN=
PPPOE_EXTRA=""
# PPPOE_EXTRA="-f 3c12:3c13 -S ISP"
PPPD_EXTRA=""
# OVERRIDE_PPPD_COMMAND="pppd call dsl"
# RETRY_ON_FAILURE=no |
/etc/ppp/options-pppoe
| Code: | noipdefault
hide-password
defaultroute
persist
lock
refuse-eap
refuse-pap
require-mschap-v2 |
(This one I'm not too sure if I have the format right)...
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets
I hope someone out there can put me straight on how this pppoe stuff works and how to get it to use CHAP.
Dan.

Try deleting or renaming /etc/ppp/srp-secrets (if it exists, that is). It's used for EAP authentication. Also, with require-mschap-v2, you are asking them to provide you with authentication, which obviously won't happen. Oh, yeah, try setting your pppoe options in pppoe.conf by placing them in the PPPD_EXTRA variable.

Cheers for the ideas. It turned out in the end that it was looking for the options in /etc/ppp/options, not /etc/ppp/options-pppoe. So I just added the require and refuse lines to that file instead and it connects.
The next step is to get a pptp connection. Should be easy I just don't know how (search box here I come)
