network madness
well here's the situation ....
the setup - cisco 800 series router , 2 cisco 1900 switches , which connect abt 15 pc's .
the task - establish a connection with a remote server through a digital line (64kbps)
the problem - 7 pcs connected to one of the two switches do not connect to the citrix server hosted remotely ... but the ip ping works fine ... note that all 15 pc's connect to a local rs/6000 machine ...
the other 7 pc's connect remotely ... I've done a test with my pc connecting it to that suspected switch - result ... not able to establish connection ...
I've moved the suspected switch and replaced it with the working one ... to check if the switch is the problem ... result - it worked just fine
Im suspecting the cabling ... before that I need a second opinion ... who know I just may be barking up the wrong tree !!

pppoe-connect
PPPOE-CONNECT(8) System Manager's Manual PPPOE-CONNECT(8)
NAME
pppoe-connect - Shell script to manage a PPPoE link
SYNOPSIS
pppoe-connect [config_file]
pppoe-connect interface user [config_file]
DESCRIPTION
pppoe-connect is a shell script which manages a PPPoE connection using the Roaring Penguin user-space PPPoE client. If you omit con-
fig_file, the default file /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf is used. If you supply interface and user, then they override the Ethernet interface and
user-name settings in the configuration file.
Note that normally, you should not invoke pppoe-connect directly. Instead, use pppoe-start to bring up the PPPoE connection.
pppoe-connect first reads a configuration file. It then brings up a PPPoE connection. If the connection ever drops, a message is logged
to syslog, and pppoe-connect re-establishes the connection. In addition, each time the connection is dropped or cannot be established,
pppoe-connect executes the script /etc/ppp/pppoe-lost if it exists and is executable.
The shell script pppoe-stop causes pppoe-connect to break out of its loop, bring the connection down, and exit.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
pppoe-connect uses the following shell variables from the configuration file:
ETH The Ethernet interface connected to the DSL modem (for example, eth0).
USER The PPPoE user-id (for example, b1xxnxnx@sympatico.ca).
PIDFILE
A file in which to write the process-ID of the pppoe-connect process (for example, /var/run/pppoe.pid). Two additional files ($PID-
FILE.pppd and $PIDFILE.pppoe) hold the process-ID's of the pppd and pppoe processes, respectively.
By using different configuration files with different PIDFILE settings, you can manage multiple PPPoE connections. Just specify the con-
figuration file as an argument to pppoe-start and pppoe-stop.
