ok i used a older realtek 8129 for the dsl connection, a newer realtek 8139 for the dmz and a 3c905b as internal interface. after i realized the reconnect-problem i changed the realtek 8129 for the dsl connection with a 3c905c, but i had the same problem. today i changed the 3c905c with the realtek 8139. i´ll post the result tomorrow.
the 3c905b is my external, one 3c905c is dmz, the other 3c905c is internal - it looks like a bad configuration, hopefully i find the time to change that in the next days...
...are there any known well working combinations of 3 nic's and dmz/int/ext(pppoe) with ASL5.001 ... ??? PLEASE POST! thx
Im having the same problem at the moment. I found out, that maybe Packet Filter could be the problem. Two entries in the list AUTO_INPUT are missing and therefore all replies from the Modem are dropped. The first time after reboot this doesnt seem to be a problem. So I guess its a bug with the automatic update of the Packet Filter rules. On the other hand a entry for protocoll 47 is in AUTO_OUTPUT, that in my opinion should be in AUTO_INPUT, because the source address is the one of the configured DSL-Modem.
