rp-pppoe problem (probability of the dialing's failure)

network environment: adsl
i use rp-pppoe to dial. sometimes the 'pppoe-start' was 'TimeOut'. In the process of 'pppoe-start', there was any signal of dialing on my modem(the 'data indicator light' of the modem is always off).
And i have to reboot my computer and try 'pppoe-start' again, there's a chance that 'connected'.

error.log:
...
pppoe: Timeout waiting for PADO packets
pppoe: Timeout waiting for PADO packets
pppoe: Timeout waiting for PADO packets
...

message.log:
...
pppd[2558]: pppd 2.4.4 started by root, uid 0
pppd: Using interface ppp0
pppd: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/0
pppd: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
pppd: Connection terminated.
pppd: Modem hangup
pppd: Exit.
pppoe-connect: PPPoE connection lost; attempting re-connection.
...

any sugesstion, please?

Re: rp-pppoe problem (probability of the dialing's failure)

could be a line problem, modem problem or server side problem.

log into your modem, and post your line stats (snr, attenuation, etc.)

but i had tried to dial in my XP os , there was not  any problem. So i believe the line and the modem are ok.  and  thanks for your reply
