1)ISP is SBC Yahoo DSL
2)NIC is Realtek 8139/810X
3)Using a DSL modem. Not a router
4)Distribution is Mandrake 9.1

Thanks in advance

get rp-pppoe
I don't (never) remember the adress, but it's like "roamingpenguins.com"... search google.

Also search forum, a lot of thread about PPPoE.

oh and... is your network card up and running?

My network card is recognized.

do not use the mandrake network configuration... it is usually broken. that being said, do this:

set up nic:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1

set up adsl:

adsl-setup

fill in the information

adsl-start

voila!

do: ping www.google.com

just to make sure you are connected.
