Hello all.

My internet provider switched to PPPoE recently. It works fine in Windows. I used `adsl-setup' to set up the DSL connection in SuSE, and ran `adsl-start'. Even though it said `Connected', none of the webpages show up. Any pointers?

I have a similar connection with two different linux machines. Both need different methods to connect. One of the two methods can help you.

I think you need to check the IP settings. Mostly your server is not supporting DHCP. so you need to find out the IP address you need for your ethernet card and assign the same to it mannually. Before doing adsl-setup/adsl-start you can try : # ifconfig eth0 [your IP address]

1. or better run network configuration service: # system-config-network and edit the configuration of your ethernet card(mostly eth0). Fill in the IP address, Subnet mask, and default gateway. I'm not sure if this service is available in SuSE.

2. Otherwise, if available you can try #netcardconfig and #pppoeconf commands as well . to do the same.
