hello all. I have a machine with 2 lan cards one for internet and the other for internal lan. my isp uses raspppoe for internet connection. I believe there is a way to get my ubuntu, debian or knoppix system connect to the internet over ras PPPOE? one lan card has a static ip 192.168.0.2 and is used for my internal network. I have right now un plugged the cable from this card. the one that connects to the internet via ras PPPOE has no IP statically assigned by my isp. it seams to get it dynamically when I use their diler from my desktop. how can I set it up from the command line? since I don't have a gui based screen reader for linux, I have to do it from the shell. thanks, Krishnakant.

Doesnt `pppoeconf' work with your ISP?

tried pppoeconf but can't connect to the net. can some one explain the meaning of all the questions? it scanned both my cards and seamd to automatically detect that pppoe is on eth0. and then asked me many questions to which I excepted recommended answers, which were mostly yes. after that it asked me for the dns and asked weather it must automatically add the same. I naturally said yes. then it asked me user name and password. I gave the proper user name and password and tryed lynx to connect to google. it did not connect. then I did pppoeconf again. this time I gave wrong user name and password. but it still took it and said connection has been initiated. what could be the problem? can some one tell me what should I do with all the messages? I hope that ras pppoe is supported. it shows "sainet " on my diner on the windows box. Krishnakant.

Just out of curiosity, is your isp pacenet? If so, then you need to touch base with their tech dept, to get your id activated for linux(i.e. they allow you to login without that unholy numeric password mangling that they do in the windows driver/dialer).
In any case, i've been connecting via pppoe for the last 2.5 years at home, and can definitely say that it works, and even works better than in windows(or is that just because of a much more sane networking stack?)

no it is not pasenet. our isp is called sainet. and we don't have an ip and we are using the protocol called RAS PPPOE. I am still wondering what could be the problem. and the most important point is that it even takes my wrong user name and password and still says that I am connected. but when I try to go on the internet, nothing happens.

There is a Windows PPPoE client named RAS PPPoE. There is no protocol named RAS PPPOE. You proably need to play around with rp-pppoe and stupid mode equivalent.

so what should I do now.
PPPoE settings are stored in a file named "provider" or "dsl-provider" by default. You can find this file in /etc/ppp/peers/
pppoeconf is not foolproof and the ncurses interface blocks off useful error messages. Occasionally it generates syntactically wrong config files too. So configure as usual with pppoeconf and then try starting pppoe manually with $ pon dsl-provider
Hopefully this will give you some kind of error message indicating where the connection is failing. You can also use the command $ plog for further analysis.
If you make some changes and want to try again do $ poff -a to clear all ppp connections before trying to connect again.
Go thru man-pages for plog/pon/poff
