bridging linux and ppoe

dvdljns · 08-30-2010, 09:01 AM

Right now I have a router bridged to my dsl modem, that way I can bypass my junk westall modem and get my ip assigned to my dd-wrt router by verizon. But shouldn't be able to do this with debian. won't debian be able to handle ppoe

I don't understand your question (or even what part of your post is a question).

Are you asking if Debian can configure an interface with pppoe? If so, the answer is yes. If not can you please rephrase your question?

Cheers,

Evo2.

What is exactly your issue? Is it that you are not able to configure debian for pppoe? If that is so, you should be able to do that with pppoeconf.

Sorry sounded so plain to me.

"Shouldn't": Do you mean "Should"? Is this a question?

I'm still having trouble understanding. Perhaps using question marks "?" at the end of sentences that are questions will help me understand.

Yes.
