We still have some serious bugs, several of which are in 2.6.15 as well:
[...]
- "Ben Castricum" <[email protected]> reports that ppp has started
 exhibiting mysterious failures (again).

I found the time to do some more testing, this time with the latest 2.6.16-rc4 from git and still pppd version 2.4.1.

The problem was very easy to reproduce, within 10 minutes I appeared again. I could narrow the problem down to not being able to _send_ traffic. Ifconfig -a and tcpdump showed traffic coming in, but not going out. I tried stracing the relevant programs (I use pptp to connect to the dsl modem)

root@gateway:~# ps -ef | grep pp

(and so on...)

root@gateway:~# strace -p 329
select(7, [3 4 6], [], NULL, NULL <unfinished ...>

nothing hapening here either.

checking the iptables setup (I flushed the rules before I started with troubleshooting):

Does this help anything?

Kind regards,
