broadband over pppoe setup help
 

Hi,

I want to setup broadband connection on my linux box and following is the situation.

1) NIC 1 (eth0) - connected to our network
2) NIC 2 (eth1) - connected to ADSL modem
3) Connection type is - pppoe
4) static ip is provide upon connection

When i was trying to setup using pppoe-setup software where i have answered all the questions, but never get connected on bootup. Also during the setup i never get "Do you want to start this connection at boot time?" question. Few days back when i tried i got this question, but somehow i am confused why it is not asking now.

And also i am what should be the status of eth1 while setting up i.e., eth1 should be inactive. Because when it is active it obtains private network IP from DHCP and i am confused to run pppoe-setup.

Please help if anyone has a solution.

So,what do you want to do?Do you have now internet connection on boot or no?Some distros ask do you wan't connection enabled at boot,some don't.What distro are you using,anyway?

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

Now i found the solution to connect on boot. But users are able to use Internet for few seconds and afterwards an error 'Page connot be displayed' appears.

As informed earlier i have two NICs, one connected to our network and another one connected to ADSL router.

I have configure squid proxy server and dansguardian for Internet connection to users.

I have only confusion about the DNS setup. In this regard, I want to resolve some names of few private IPs and for Internet access automatically should go through ISP's DNS address.

I am using FC8.
