you'd think this would be easy to setup... but its not.

i am dedicating a full routerboard to be a pppoe client for my home network.

i've setup pppoe client with the proper username and password
i've enabled NAT masquerading
and i've setup a small dhcp server.

the only problem is it sits there saying "Waiting for packets" and it never dials out!!!

is there some step i maybe missing?

this is my core setup on most MT's whatever release and board type. it works good.

do leave 'service' blank
do leave 'ac name' blank

nat on pppoe-out interface.

let me know if you need more help

the only difference i have is nat masquerade set to source ip 192.168.10.0/24.

what do you mean : nat on ppp-out interface? can you show rule please?

hth
