I'm evaluating Astaro at home for use in my business but I'm having a particular problem with ADSL that is a bit of a show stopper. I have it running on a refurb PC.
Previously I was using a Draytek Vigor 2910 connect to the the ISP supplied ADSL modem (TNN Aztech ADSL2+ Ethernet Bridge Router DSL-600E).
When setting it up I had a lot of problems getting it to connect but it turned out the ISP had problems in my area that day. Eventually it just worked.
The Astaro has just been working without fault for almost 6 days but suddenly it dropped the PPPoE connection to the ISP (Bezeqint in Israel) and then refused all connections internally to the admin interface. I power cycled it and when it came up it refused to connect. I tried all the switching on and off I could but have given up now. I made no config changes or did anything special this morning: it just disconnected.
As soon as I connected the Vigor 2910 back to the modem it connects fine and the Vigor is rock solid and works for months untouched.
Are there some issues with Astaro and PPPoE? Is there a way I can connect the Astaro through the Vigor though frankly I'm not sure I can be bothered?
I'd really like to get this working, I like the product and I like the configurability, but I don't have much more time to waste on this when swapping the Astaro for a old bit of kit just works.
