rp-pppoe connected but no data transfer

beopen · 2012-06-29 15:06:31

hi,
i installed arch on 27th . Post installation i setup internet connection using rp-pppoe, which was a straight forward setup. I also got connected to net and downloaded data upon a system upgrade. Except this one instance, thereafter last two days if connected i am getting no data transfer after a connection is established.

Upon ping of 8.8.8.8 i am getting this error of destination net unreachable & if you ping google.com i get the error unknown host.
when i checked the pppoe status i get this message:
link is up and running on interface ppp0 and no packet errors both RX and TX.
The system upgrade did not happen on 27th due to the TZselec tconflicting files error.
It is a fresh system.
i am pasting below the lines from the messages.log of 27th when i got the data transfer happened for the first time and next of 29th with the same system but nothing happening except i am connected.

Now in both the cases i got connected but as i said before except twice on 27th i am not able to have data transfer of any type either through ping or pacman upgrade.

Upon the same time i cross checked on my other systems, ubuntu and windows and i had no problems with the same, to confirm any issue with my isp. As of now i am typing one of those systems only.
I have googled a lot, read the other options of pppd,etc, but upon similar queries by other users found no viable solution to this problem.
My hostname is also proper in the config files. I also once used static ip for a change to see if things go working
but nothing is sucessful so far.
The only viable solution i read so far upon google search where there was a success was a fresh installation of arch by an user and he got the same working. But definitely i wont go with that. As i said above i got connected twice on the day of the installation and post that also i am now getting connected but with no data transfer.

Pls suggest what to do to get the connection working.

regards

how about your /etc/resolv.conf ?

beopen · 2012-06-29 16:43:08

well in the resolv.conf the nameservers get auto added by the isp and i found the same correct with what is shown in my ubuntu system , if you click connection information there.
As i said above even i tried using static ip setup to get the above working, yet it did not happen. So i reverted back to the setup for DHCP .
The same dhcp settings only worked on 27th also when i hit success.
Thereafter there is no need to do any change for me. The next day i sit on pc and this problem occurs.

maybe you could try with pppd + rp-pppoe module from kernel instead of rp-pppoe package. that's what i use on my linux router.

beopen · 2012-06-29 17:05:55

Upon a search on the forums yesterday
i read one user query on this forums who was advised the same and he had the same problem like me and it did not got solved with either methodds.
Last his query was still open. I did not save that link.
So i did not give that method a try so far, waiting for a solution for this method without going for new developments thinking a search for a day or two might get some viable results.

i guess you are mentioning the topic of this link
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pppd [This article explains how to set up a point-ti-point connections using pppd and the kernel PPPoE driver. ]

Further in my case the connection is happening and also getting disconnected. You can very well see the same in the log file which i pasted.
Jun 27 13:16:48 localhost pppd[888]: Connect time 18.8 minutes.
Jun 27 13:16:48 localhost pppd[888]: Sent 411268 bytes, received 16885685 bytes.

Jun 29 18:04:04 localhost pppd[811]: Connect time 9.3 minutes.
Jun 29 18:04:04 localhost pppd[811]: Sent 0 bytes, received 926 bytes.

So same thing but different results on 2 different days. So what the problem really is i dont understand. Infact what the problem is the system is also not giving out, except that a connection happens, no data transfer takes place and the connection is cut and the stats are also show. Just diving to implement some new method or a reinstall, without resolving this which looks sensible yet senseless too, simply does not appeal here. If really there is some bug or issue with that rp-pppoe package then there is some point to jump to another method.
This must be solvable some way or other.
