Something else to try is use ethereal on the ppp0 interface to rule out anything coming from outside. It should help in troubleshooting this.
Not completely. For example, it will not show LCP messages, because they belong to the ppp part only, not to tcp/ip or ethernet. For example, I see this: Sep 16 02:31:56 nimrodel pppd[7004]: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0xd7 magic=0x4654332 Sep 16 02:31:56 nimrodel pppd[7004]: rcvd [LCP EchoRep id=0xd7 magic=0x0] Sep 16 02:32:26 nimrodel pppd[7004]: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0xd8 magic=0x4654332 Sep 16 02:32:27 nimrodel pppd[7004]: rcvd [LCP EchoRep id=0xd8 magic=0x0] Sep 16 02:32:56 nimrodel pppd[7004]: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0xd9 magic=0x4654332 Sep 16 02:32:56 nimrodel pppd[7004]: rcvd [LCP EchoRep id=0xd9 magic=0x0] Every 30 seconds, there is one (a kind of ping). If there is no answer, connection will go down (my side). -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
