Posted: Sun Aug 05, 2007 13:03 Post subject: pppoE auth problems with latest build + wrt54gs (v2)
It would only log in briefly (from ISPs end) & then drop out ("port error" is what the ISP says it said in radius logs). However it never showed as connected and having a WAN IP from my end, even briefly.
Ultimately I had no choice but to set the "wan connection type" to disable, then I had to change my modem/router (iconnect) from "dumb bridged" mode into "gateway" mode and set it to log in via pppoe.
It works fine now but does this mean I have no choice but to do NAT/Port management/QoS/uPNP/DMZ via my shitty iconnect modem/router as opposed to using my wrt54gs(v2) + dd-wrt? The iconnect gives me the option to disable NAT but as soon as I do this I get no connection out to the net.
In "Setup"-->"Advanced routing" I changed the operating mode from "gateway" to "router" because my wrt54gs is essentially no longer the gateway device (it was working without doing this). I'm not sure if I should enable dynamic routing along with this on the "LAN/wLAN".
any help would be really appreciated

**Bump!!** anyone, please??
BS any suggestions :cry:
I've set my Linksys IP as a DMZ in my iconnect config. So hopefully now I should be able to avoid a "double NAT" and do all QoS, firewall, & port management from the linksys, and the iconnect can simply be a modem/authentication device. Or does anyone foresee any complication with this config?
my pppoe wasnt connecting too but i found a post that with this bin you would get it fixed:

I don't know what it is exactily but i used it on a dd-wrt v23 SP3 micro generic and the version doenst change, its like a fix, i don't know :S but it woked fine on my WRT54GS v5.

Fabio , remember that problems with PPPoe are noticed in all versions since 2006 , but this problems occurs just in some ISP ... not at all ..I have a router WRT 54 G v4 with DDWRTv23 1406 running just to get a WAN IP ( to be plugged to the world ) .. other router with newer versions running v24 with other functions running fine , except pppoe _________________ DDwrt ...it rocks ....

So you were using the last major stable release and still having probs? I didn't ever have problems with pppoe when I was on v23 sp2. Only since I moved to latest builds of v2.4.
Can you post a link to instructions on how to manually install this pppoe component?
my connection wasnt working on any version since it was integrated on dd-wrt (v23 SP2).
But then i got this .bin and used the firmware upgrade tool on the dd-wrt admin pane and its working well now.
