I've been trying for a while to setup a mpd pppoe server to have a

I understand that access concentrator name is given by hostname, but
what about service name?



You can give the native PPPoE a try. man(8) pppoed explains how to do it. Take a look at this example:
pppoed_flags="-d -P /var/run/pppoed.pid -a "yazzy.org" -l "default" "




I've been using pppoed in the past but i've migrated to mpd because i had problem with broken pppoe clients from lan which break pppoed server, making pppoe server unusable.



I've used pppoe server for a year now and at service name i have *
wildcard. If i use set pppoe service "test" instead of "*" after i start
mpd, from a windows client i cannot see the service. Any ideea howto fix
that? I've googled for a while without success.



AFAIR you can tell windows what service name to chose. There is also a free
pppoe client - http://www.raspppoe.com/ which you can use to "browse" your network for pppoe broadcast packets.



Yes, I'm using rasppoe on client side but if instead of "*" service I assign a name to the service, raspppoe is unable to find the pppoe service.

This is a tcpdump for 2 situations: with "*" as service name in mpd and with an assigned name instead of "*"


this is the case with a service name

1.
22:41:09.081502 PPPoE PADI [Service-Name] [Host-Uniq
0x5253504500000000E0D3063307E4C601]


this is the case with "*" service name (working version)

1.
22:47:18.170867 PPPoE PADI [Service-Name] [Host-Uniq
0x5253504500000000609A050F08E4C601]
2.
22:47:18.175976 PPPoE PADO [AC-Name "wanna"] [Service-Name]
[Service-Name "*"] [Host-Uniq 0x5253504500000000609A050F08E4C601]
[AC-Cookie 0x006942C6]

The problem with * is that if i have 2 pppoe servers, users connects randomly to one or other server, I want some of customers to go to a server, some to other, that's why I don't want to use *
