LIMITED MSS PROBLEM

22.

Many providers have routers that do not support TCP packets with a MSS higher than 1460. Usually, outgoing packets have this MSS when they go through one real Ethernet link with the default MTU size (1500). Unfortunately, if you are forwarding packets from other hosts (i.e. doing masquerading) the MSS may be increased depending on the packet size and the route to the client hosts, so your client machines won't be able to connect to some sites. There is a solution: the maximum MSS can be limited by pppoe. You can find more details about this issue in the pppoe documentation.

Should pppoe clamp MSS at 1452 bytes?

If unsure, say yes.

(If you still get problems described above, try setting to 1412 in the dsl-provider file.)

DONE

24.

Your PPPD is configured now. Would you like to start the connection at boot time?

25.

ERROR

26.

The interfaces file generated by pppoeconf appears to be invalid. This is probably because pppoeconf is unable to handle your original interfaces file. Should pppoeconf nevertheless change your interfaces file with the one that appears to be invalid?
If you agree, you will probably break your network connectivity after rebooting, and cause some local problems if lo is down. Your original interfaces file will be moved to $REALINTFILE~ so you can restore it.
If not, you will have to make sure that $iface is configured before starting your DSL connection and start the connection manually.

Note that this situation is not expected and you should consider submitting a bug report against pppoeconf including your original interfaces file and the one generated by pppoeconf.

ESTABLISH A CONNECTION

28.

Now, you can make a DSL connection with "pon dsl-provider" and terminate it with "poff". Would you like to start the connection now?

29.

CONNECTION INITIATED

30.

The DSL connection has been triggered. You can use the "plog" command to see the status or "ip addr show ppp0" for general interface info.
