michaelmurfy: Your default NAT masquerade rule is disabled. Enable it and ensure the outbound interface is your pppoe interface. Under the interface list remove both ether1 and your VLAN interface.

I have done all of the above - it does not appear to make a difference as yet :

- Enabled the Masquerade rule.

- Removed the interface Out list and replaced it with the PPPoE Out interface directly

- removed the Ether1 and VLAN-10 from the WAN interface list

Still get a timeout on pings and no DNS.

Also still can't answer why I cannot authenticate when using the exact credentials Spark advise to use.

Yep if using the stock firewall rule, ensure the ppp interface is in the wan interface list.

Just as an additional data point - I show transmit Tx values on the PPPoE and Ether1/VLAN-10, but no receive Rx data.

It's the ppp interface, not the vlan that needs to be in the wan list

Yes, that's how I've set it up. Sorry, I probaby created confusion by part way through this excercise renaming 'pppoe-out1' to 'SparkUFB', and renaming the VLAN on Ether1 i originally named 'SparkUFB', to 'VLAN 10'.

So current config is PPPoE named as 'SparkUFB' using VLAN 'VLAN 10' on Ether1, with the PPPoE set as the masquerade Out on the NAT and as the only remaining member of the WAN group in Interface Lists. Ether2-5 are bridged as LAN in the interface list.

Can you see the PPP address OK in ip/address ?

If i use PPP username 'user@xtrabb.co.nz', yes:

If i use PPP username 'user@spark.co.nz', no :

But again in both cases I still do not have any access to the inernet via ping, DNS or any other method.

Something odd about your PPP address - should be a public IPv4 in Spark's range, not the 10.0.0.0/8 address you've got there.

I only have some subtle differences....

L2 MTU for me is 1510 on Interface Spark UFB (I don't remember setting that)
Username is user@xtrabb.co.nz
And use peer dns is off (I don't use Spark's DNS)

OK. You're all going to think I am making this up, but I swear on my ancestors honour I am not:

Changing the Username from 'user@spark.co.nz' (the one Spark's own instructions tell you to use) to 'user@xtrabb.co.nz', stops the 'failed to authenticate' error and now it shows authenticated and connected.

You're welcome.

I'll be interested what you get when you double-click on the PPPoE dialer and go to Status - it'll look something like this screen (old image of mine):

I’m in bed now so I can’t show the exact screen above but the same data is surfaced on the iOS app, screenshot below.
