I'm running Redhat 7.2 and I installed roaring penguin pppoe software to access my earthlink dsl.
it has been running smoothly...much better than the windows earthlink dsl software. but last night, i got a timed out error and it pointed me to /usr/sbin/adsl-start script, line 192. I looked at the script, but I've no clue what's wrong or why something is wrong all of a sudden. this happened before and the only thing that fixed it was re-installing linux...i don't fancy doing that again.
has anyone ever run into this before?

just in case anyone ever runs into this...
the reason i was getting this error is because the uplink button was accidently pressed on my hub when my cat knocked the hub over! the cable from my linux box was plugged into the uplink port on the hub. so it turns out that this error was because tkpppoe could not connect because of the hub mess up.
so...lesson to learn...always check cabling, especially when you have a &^%&^$^%$ cat!
i re-install linux twice trying to fix! it took me a week to figure it out...i felt stupid!

Well, maybe you felt stupid, but you'll be a lot smarter the next time! Thanks for posting the solution -- that's a good reminder just how easy it is to overlook the obvious. (and don't feel stupid -- we've all been there, done that more times than we care to remember ...)
