after upgrading DSL speed from 3MBits to 6Mbits my monowall can't dial in properly (no stable connection). After a look into the logs it looks like the server closes the connection (May 7 21:16:43 mpd: [pppoe] LCP: rec'd Terminate Request #117 (Opened)). The problem occurse on two different DSL lines with different hardware.
On my private line I tested other DSL modems (Telekom Speedport, DLink, Fritzbox with modem only setting) and mono on other hardware (alix 2d..., soekris net5501, vmware) with my old config and configs from scratch, but the problem persists. Changing from mono to pfsense or zeroshell solves the problem and the connection is stable again. Connection other hardware routers (fritzbox, linksys, funkwerk) also solves the problem. Connection mono behind another router breaks all (my) ipsec connections.
After googling I found a post from manuel(Sorry, can't remember the url and can't find it right anymore) about a beta version of mono 1.3 which basically said that checking "Allow DNS server list to be overridden by DHCP/PPP on WAN" solves the problem. After changing and rebooting the connection SOMETIMES works but not always.
Comparing the mpd config file on pfsense and mono also doesn’t bring up a difference.
