Hi, I've been looking aroung for a while for a solution to the following issue:

I have been trying to set up a pppoe server (using rp-pppoe) to allow windows clients to connect to my linux server. Each time I end up with the followinf output in my log file:

The client want server to close the connection and issue a callback. This kind of setup have sense only for dialup.

Also, you shouldn't accept any local or remote IP addresses proposed by the client. The server is the one who set them. If you want to set a IP address per user, use {pap,chap}-secrets files.

You can see then why I am so confused. I am using the latest copy of pppd and rp-pppoe from portage, but all of my windows clients demand CBCP on connection (which makes no sense in PPPoE). Am I missing something or is this a completely client-side bug?

And yes, I do plan to use pap/chap once I get this fixed.

Maybe the client gets confused because the server doesn't require authentication.

This is my /etc/ppp/pppoe-server-options which I use to test PPPoE support before merging into the tree.

After trying hundreds of other configurations I think it is a client-side problem. Is there any way to force support for CBCP? (I really hate microsoft-centric protocols)

Edit:
I have confirmed that the config works linux-to-linux, just not with the M$-style CBCP
