Hi,
The austrian ISP Inode requires to get the IP for the ethernet address with DHCP, replace the default route and then connect via PPTP/PPPoE ...
following procedure:
1.) Get the IP for the Ethernet Nic by using DHCP
2.) remove the default gateway which was set by DHCP and set up a host route to this gateway ( Host: modemip to the Gateway which we got from DHCP )
3.) Connect to the Provider's Gateway by PPTP or PPPoE
Now i have modified my pfsense Installation to do this procedure for me and created a patch.
The patch add's 2 new WAN Type's "DHCP_PPPOE" and "DHCP_PPTP" which both are configured to get the IP by DHCP "/etc/inc/interfaces.inc", replace the routes and connect via PPPoE/PPTP "/etc/rc.newwanip". i also updated "/etc/inc/filter.inc" to allow DHCP AND PPPoE/PPTP together.
Then i have learned "/etc/rc.bootup" my 2 new WAN Type's because it was bugging me about a unknown WAN cfg :)
At least i changed the "/etc/inc/interfaces.inc", now it knows the MTU which i was setting via the Web Interface *fg*
This PATCH NEEDS:
1.) pfsense version rc2f
2.) Test DHCP_PPPoE
currently i'm not able to do so... (next week i can test this, i hope...)
3.) Test PPPoE PPTP
I hope not but there could be troubles
4.) Test PPTP Server
same as above ...
I hope it find's it's way to the next official release which allow's me to recommend pfsense to my friends and Inode customers :)
Thx allot,
Rene Jochum
