Hi all,

It have been a while I try to get my WGT634U online with the newest 7.06 release without success.
Here is my case, your help is highly appreciated:

I'm using the official WGT634U before flash to the 7.06 image and internet access is fine.

After flash completed I modify /etc/config/network file on following section:

...
#### WAN configuration
config interface    wan
    option ifname    'eth0.1'
    option proto    'pppoe'
    option username    'myaccout'
    option passwd    'mypass'
...

then reboot, but could not get internet access. So I manually execute 'ifup wan' and get following output from logread:

...

Is there anything I've missed in configuration? or any steps I should do before I could surf the internet?
Or any lucky guys are using WGT634U + pppoe flawless could share his/her experience?

Thanks

at least you get that much.... I don't even get those sort of entries in the logs... pppoe just seems to do nothing....

#### WAN configuration
config interface        wan
        option ifname   "eth0.1"
        option proto    pppoe
        option username lkamd;lksadmfasklfas
        option password l;ksafnmaslkfnasd;lkfnklasdnvalsdvnaslk;vmjkl;dvmas
        option keepalive 10
        #option mtu     1492

I think what Weedy is trying to say is, that you need to force the mtu size to 1492   Which is the default for PPP.  So maybe the line with option mtu should be un-commented ???

MTU, basically is the packet size that is used on the ppp link.......    why it tries to change it to 1500 is anybodies guess......

Thanks Weedy and steve, I'll try this value later and update with my result. But be patient, I have to flash it to OpenWRT again as the route is running official firmware now.

B.T.W. I remembered I had tried a much smaller MTU value long time ago without luck. But it may be other unknown issue too...

: )
I got them only if execute "ifup wan"manually, be sure to use eth0.1 not ppp0 thing(some example on the web suggest this strange value).

And good luck.

Hi guys, I have try with/without "option mtu     1492" today and none of them succeed.

But to my lucky after I install webif3.3(just want one more fail...) and fill all the configuration for pppoe on the web page, it works like a charm!

Afterwards, I compared the network config file and find a major difference
the noneworking one:
option passwd    'mypass'

and the working one:
option password    'mypass'

still investigating rest of the config files, will update this post if something new.
