I've read through the archives for pacenet problems. 1. I used the pppoe command. Does that mean I've rp-pppoe installed ? 2. What exactly do I tell the pacenet people when I tell them to create a linux user for me ? 3. I have Fedora Core 2 updates. Can I use them on Core 1 ?

see man adsl-start if you find The pppoe home page is http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe/ then you have the required pppoe installed.

you just have to tell the customer support to create a Linux Id for you. then #adsl-setup #adsl-start

After reading your problem, as an experiment, I tried using a Red Hat 8 machine on LAN to connect to the internet through a Win XP machine that was used as a default gateway. The XP used a shared dialup connection. On the linux side I used a fixed IP address with the usual subnet mask and the default gateway was set to the XP's ip address. I was able to surf the net using the mozilla browser in the linux machine.

Pacenet is not a traditional LAN based ISP. It uses pppoe.

This is something new for me. I have just returned from a client's place where he was having problems with his ethernet internet service. His system ( Win98) needed to be reloaded again as it was contaminated with unwanted files installed in his system and the explorer would crash. The Cable guy has switched over to Linux and a firewall for security at his end. He told me that the new system only needed automatic ip setting to be enabled at the client end and the system was already internet ready. I asked for the gateway ip but he said it was not needed. How is that possible? He will be visiting the client and setup the ethernet net part tomorrow. Can you throw some light on this?
I also found this usefull link for PPPOE http://www.carricksolutions.com/pppoe.php

Well its similar to the dialup scenario where the user need not bother about the gateway and the DNS which is provided by the ISP. Pacenet uses PPP over ethernet.The analogy explains why there is no need of gateway and DNS in this scenario.

This means that some ppp setting will need to be setup just as we do in dialup. The cable guy did not mention this. He simply said to make ip configuration automatic and thats it. Maybe he missed this point.

DHCP gives you all those benefits. See the manual for what you can push out via DHCP.
