Hi Gents,
I have just bought an RB2011UAS-2HnD-IN.
I am trying to set it up as a pppoe-client.
I have configured it as it is visible on Mikrotik’s wiki but it doesn’t work.
[thegod@LocalGW] /ip firewall nat> /interface pppoe-client print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
0 name="pppoe-out1" max-mtu=1480 max-mru=1480 mrru=disabled
interface=ether1-gateway user="USERNAME" password="PASSWORD"
profile=default service-name="" ac-name="adsl" add-default-route=yes
dial-on-demand=no use-peer-dns=yes allow=pap
[thegod@LocalGW] /ip firewall nat>
It seems RB2011 doesn’t answer with PADR frame to the PADO from ISP’s AS. 
There is nothing useful in the log.

I configured a mirror port on the equipment and sniffed the traffic on ether3 by tcpdump but no PADR frame was visible.

I tried to put a hub between the RB2011 and the ISP’s DSL Modem and sniff the traffic on that way but the result was the same.
Has anyone met with similar problem?
