i tried using rp-pppoe but since i didnt know the commands i gave up....
i'll be really grateful to u if u help me...plz i need help

Try man -k pppoe. It will give you a list of man pages that contain the word pppoe. Replace pppoe by ppp if the list does not return the expected results.

Not sure for FC, in Ubuntu I used pppoeconf to configure, in Slackware I seem to remember that I used adsl-setup.

HEY PPL...i've finally configured it myself...thanx for the help newa ys

In stead of (or added to) this, you could kindly tell us how you fixed it, in case somebody else is struggling with the same problem; no matter how easily it was done, it might help somebody out.

I think the configuration tool for ADSL pppoe connections on Fedora Core (version 6 at least, so probably the older ones too) is called adsl-setup like in Slackware (like Wim Sturkenboom said), but others to try (on other distributions and/or versions) are pppoeconfig or pppoe-setup. After running through that configuration tool, answering to the questions, the program should ask if you'd like to start the connection during boot process, and tell how to start or stop it manually. If the configuration program won't start from console, try with full path; usually it resides under /sbin, so try /sbin/adsl-setup for instance.

Starting the connection goes similarly, for example on Fedora Core 6 it's /sbin/adsl-start and stopping /sbin/adsl-stop. Again, if /sbin is set in your $PATH variable, you don't need to enter the full path, just the executable name.

hey sorry for such a late reply....wat i did is 1st used ifconfig and noted down my static adress...then configured using network connection from gnome....then on properties of eth0 i configured it to be static and put the adresses there....
then my eth0 got activated...although u can do uptil here by ur own way...
next i did was make a new adsl connection...then in the AC contoller name and service name i put on the names i knew as i have installed RASPPPOE so many times on my comp...then activate both the connection and voila !
