Well it's me again this time i decided to go a bit "advanced" in linux and yet i already came across one big problem. Well after linux arch installation i configured network by creating manually config file in

Code: Select all

/etc/ppp/peers

and also adding password to

Code: Select all

/etc/ppp/pap-secrets

So when i tried to connect pon dsl-provider it was a success, but after restart i couldn't connect... Then after another reboot yet again i could connect and after another restart again i couldn't and so on... It's really annoying. When i was connected i looked at ifconfig and i saw that ppp0 is up and running when it failed there was no ppp0 interface... I have never came across this kind of problem.
Btw it never spits out error it always says

Code: Select all

plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded rp-pppoe plugin version 3.3 compiled against pppd 2.4.4

syslog is the first place to check: /var/log/syslog
