ppp0 problems

[Snt]

I've read all of the packet problems, no one seemed to ask about ppp0 and dsl. Both have different external ip's, both have different iternal ip's. I can ping either.

DSL
||
Hub(not switch)
|| ||
WinXP(PPPoE) Linux(PPPoE)

I can't seem to sniff any of the packets, i read the connect is spose to hit the hub before it goes out to the net, or id never get a chance to sniff the packets.

Not sure but I would think PPPoE would preclude seeing packets destined for other machines (the entire basis of seq).

what brand and model "Hub" are you using? also in the linux world ppp0 is completely different from PPPOE ;)

Your problem sounds like you are running a pppoe session from the EQ client. Regardless of how your showeq box is placed on the network this will be a problem. showeq can only decode ethernet packet types of regular IP over ethernet(ether type 0x0800). PPPoE, PPP or any other protocol use a different encapsulation that showeq is not written to decode properly. If you are stuck using PPPoE, you will need to set up some kind of router to manage the PPPoE link and forward the IP packets to the client, both a linux box or linksys could be used.
