Re: pppoe configuration - unable to ping outside

[Anuj Singh <anujhere@gmail.com>]

Telephone Line (ISP)  ---> <adsl router> ---> [eth0, eth1 <<Server]
eth0 connected to router
eth1 connected to local network
First thing is to get access to the internet (ping outside etc) from the server itself, 

About the router's PPPoE , i tried that thing,, it was working (on the location where i decided to use 
debian linux) now there I was able to access net from debian. Problem there I faced was with 
masquerading few machines . I used shorewall firewall there, proxy content/virus filter worked fine,
but masquerade,, it didn't worked. Now  I gave them a redhat based server. But still want to use
debian. First step starts threw configuring my own pppoe on debian in a working condition, for obvious 
reasons I want to use debian linux boxes configurations. 
Same configurations are working fine on rhel/fedora. I configured it's pppoe and logs are similar as i showed 
in my previous posting of debian logs.
Thank you for support
regards
anuj
