setup internet on command line
 

I would like to know how I could connect to my adsl modem/router on the command line.

The network is running on dhcp and WAP.

It's easy to connect in the gui but I would like to know how to do it on the command line.

Furthermore where can I configure this to happen automatically on boot.

What distro are u running ?

I am using Fedora 12 installed from Live CD

you can use the command and follow the prompts

I get command not found?

The command has changed to you need to have the rp-pppoe package installed.

Thanks for the replies. This seems to recreate a connection to my isp. My router already creates the adsl connection I just want to link to my router through the wlan using dhcp.

okay in that case you need but it should work out of the box as your adsl router is a dhcp server.

I think it will I just need to give it the ssid and wap key I think

I tried system-config-network-tui but my wlan is not listed. It is listed in iwconfig though.

Sorry u did not mention that u are using a wireless access point, am not sure if there is an easy command line tool for that as it normally works via networkmanager which is a gui application

Thank you for trying datopdog.

Is there anyone who knows if this is possible on the command line?

Yes it is possible but u will have to edit the files, as in the above link, there is no tool to do it for you.

Thank you that link is very helpfull.
