ADSLPPPoE
Prerequisites are:
-
A DSL account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
-
Username and password for that account.
-
A DSL modem to which you connect using an Ethernet network card.
-
Your Ubuntu box with its Ethernet card enabled for DHCP.
-
Possible knowledge of installing packages with synaptic.
[Tip]
Make sure that your ADSL connection has been activated by your ISP before starting this procedure. Generally there is a "dsl" light on your modem that is lit showing your connection should be activated.
Ubuntu by default installs the "pppoeconf" package. If you are not sure if you have it you can check by typing this in a terminal window :
dpkg -s pppoeconf
If it is not installed yet, do it by yourself, following the hints in the section called "Adding, Removing and Updating Applications".
Once you are sure that you have the package installed its time to configure your connection. Type in a terminal:
sudo pppoeconf
A text-based installer will take you through the setup. To manually connect using your configured setup, type:
pon dsl-provider
