[plug] Pppoe-server woes...

Hi all,

I'm [going to be] trying to troubleshoot an IPSEC problem with a
machine, and it uses PPPoE to connect over ADSL. As I don't want to
change anything networking-wise on it, I'm trying to set up another
machine with a crossover cable, running the pppoe-server program that
comes in the same .deb. But it's not liking me...

I'm using the command line "pppoe-server -I eth1 -L 1.2.3.4 -R
1.2.20.35" (IPs changed but that's the gist of it).
/etc/ppp/pppoe-server-options has this (not sure how much of it is
really needed):

[quote]
require-pap
noauth
lcp-echo-interval 20
lcp-echo-failure 3
debug
noaccomp
persist
default-asyncmap
crtscts
lock
proxyarp
noipx

I've gotten as far as this in the server logs:

Aug 18 17:07:17 testing pppd[396]: pppd 2.4.3 started by root, uid 0

[snip]
Aug 18 17:07:48 testing pppd[396]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
Aug 18 17:07:48 testing pppd[396]: Connection terminated.

Obviously there's something handshaking-wise that it's not liking, but
the bigger problem is that none of those sent LCP packets are being
seen on the client end, with either syslog or tcpdump...

Any ideas?
