O.K. a DSL router has a modem, too. So your computer has to do all a DSL router does internal, too.
So you need a kernel with pppoe support and the best the tool pppoeconf and therefore KDE should have a frontend.
Check PPPOE support :
- Start root terminal and goto kernel source directory,
- type in "make xconfig" - linux qt-configuration tool starts
- select "Network device support /
- and then - PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)
should have a point or tick if not you have to compile the kernel new with pppoe support.
- if the others have points, make also a point to "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
- save and exit
- make (the kernel)
- make modules_install
- if you have nvidia graphics driver installed yourself it could be that it is deleted so install it new
- move arch/x86/boot/bzimage to /boot/vm-test or what name you want the new kernel to be
- add a new entrance to /boot/grub/menu.lst for the new kernel or what bootloader however you use. (lilo needs to be re-installed)
-restart your computer and select the new kernel to be loaded.
This is for dialin ppp_over_ethernet.
Its nearly the same like with ppp for a normal modem.
After you setup all with pppoeconf (as root) you should be able to start konqueror or firefox, opera or what ever is you favorite browser and start surfing.
