Description of problem: I have configured my broadband setup using pppoe-setup utility. Internet continue to work for 30 min and they automatically gets disconnected. Then network manager automatically retires 3 times and then giveup permanently. I search alot in google and changed many parameters inside /etc/ppp directory but no change in behavior. In fact my observation is that pppd process is not reading config parameters from /etc/ppp directory. Process signature is root 1037 866 0 15:38 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/pppd nodetach lock nodefaultroute user anshaj plugin rp-pppoe.so nic-p5p1 rp_pppoe_service netvigator noauth nodeflate usepeerdns mru 1492 mtu 1492 lcp-echo-failure 3 lcp-echo-interval 20 ipparam /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/PPP/0 plugin /usr/lib64/pppd/2.4.5/nm-pppd-plugin.so where value of lcp-echo-failure 3.

This is no ISP issue as same connection works fine with windows.. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Linux unforgiven 3.1.5-1.fc16.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 9 18:11:10 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux How reproducible: Keep the internet running and it automatically gets disconnected after 30 min Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Internet gets disconnected Expected results: Internet should continue to work. Or If possible let me know how to change the config so that I can incrase retry to high number. I am attaching pppoe config files. Additional info:

Same ISP connection used to work with Fedora 12. At that time I used asdl gui to setup the internet connection.
The connection is teared out because the peer doesn't reply to ECHO packets: Dec 19 16:11:45 unforgiven pppd[1037]: No response to 3 echo-requests Dec 19 16:11:45 unforgiven pppd[1037]: Serial link appears to be disconnected. So you should probably disable the ECHO packets. You can do that by unchecking "Send PPP echo packets" checkbox on 'PPP setings' tab in nm-connection-editor. see 'man pppd' for lcp-echo-failure and lcp-echo-interval NM passes the parameters to pppd on command-line. What NM version do you use? $ rpm -q NetworkManager Values 3 and 20 suggest you use older NM version. There was a change on this: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663970 When "Send PPP echo packets" is unchecked, lcp-echo-failure and lcp-echo-interval parameters in [ppp] section in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<your_connection_name> file are removed, which is equivalent to [ppp] lcp-echo-failure=0 lcp-echo-interval=0
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
