Cool pppoe0 won't connect to ISP DSL

Hi all,

I can't make this one work, though I think it's close. I'm setting up a OpenBSD 4.4 firewall (pf). I have ADSL-connection to my ISP with dynamically assigned ip. My DSL-modem is a bridge-type modem which is connected to the BSD machine, on which I run the built in PPPoE-daemon.

The interface connecting to the DSL-modem is rl0.

My /etc/hostname.rl0:
Code:
up
My /etc/hostname.pppoe0:
Code:
pppoedev rl0
!/sbin/ifconfig rl0 up
inet 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 NONE authproto chap authname 'username@tele2adsl8' authkey 'password' up
dest 0.0.0.1
!/sbin/route add default -ifp pppoe0 0.0.0.1
(of course username and password are the credentials I received from my ISP)


After I reboot or run the /etc/netstart i keep an eye on the ifconfig pppoe0:
Code:
pppoe0: flags=8851<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1492
        dev: rl0 state: PADI sent
        sid: 0x0 PADI retries: 5 PADR retries: 0
        sppp: phase establish authproto chap authname "username@tele2adsl8" 
        groups: pppoe egress
        inet6 fe80::219:5bff:fe7f:4d51%pppoe0 ->  prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x7
        inet 0.0.0.0 --> 0.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffffff

After a few attempts (PADI retries) it's terminated:
Code:
pppoe0: flags=8851<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1492
        dev: rl0 state: session
        sid: 0xcbe7 PADI retries: 6 PADR retries: 0 time: 00:00:03
        sppp: phase terminate authproto chap authname "username@tele2adsl8" 
        groups: pppoe egress
        inet6 fe80::219:5bff:fe7f:4d51%pppoe0 ->  prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x7
        inet 0.0.0.0 --> 0.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffffff

The PPPoE-client is talking to the DSLAM right? But something goes wrong. Am i missing out on the syntax somewhere?
Btw; pf is disabled during these tests.

I have tried the connection with a Netgear WLAN Router with built in PPPoE-client, and that works like a charm with the same log in credentials so I know the ISP-connection is OK.

Any ideas I can try out?

Thanx in advance.
