i'v tried to setup adsl to my friend. distro is slackware 10.2 with default kernel. i did 'pppoe-setup' and ewerything seem to be fine. i get ip address and supose for that connection with dns server should already work fine? but when i start firefox, for example... nothing. also when i ping dns server... nothing.
Are you running through a router? or is the computer connected directly to the modem? Also make sure that your DSL is actually PPPOE as opposed to dynamic or static IP.
Hi,
I did this one just yesterday, my phone company would not test for my complaint of DSL speed until I removed the dsl/router, and connected to just ONE computer...
(my provider gives me a dynamic address and the connection is pppoe)
I removed the cable to my dsl modem, and connected directly to my linux box.
I can't even find the pppoe disk they sent me for windows a few years ago...
As root:
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 (this removed the ip settings, normally a static address on my internal LAN)
ifconfig eth0 up
pppoe-setup (entered eth0 as interface, the two dns server addresses, username and password)
pppoe-start (after about 15 or 20 seconds I had the ability to ping the internet, addresses or hostnames)
This worked for me, and to get everything back to normal, I just put the cabling back to normal and restarted the linux box.
I am using Slackware 10.2 and the pppoe stuff was installed by default.
Hope this helps.

yes it runs through micronet usb router. and there is acctualy no modem, just router and NIC. first mistake was that i forgot to load a NIC module. now i can ping a DNS server but internet still doesn't work.
i have no idea which option should i choose in netconfig, dhcp or static? ip address which i get is always different. i supose that is dhcp then?

cooldave, if i'v understood you, you suggest thet i remove a cable from router... no actualy you sad that you have disconnected your modem (does it work, i mean, can you have internet directly over your NIC without modem???), and connected it directly to your linux maschine? then you have configured pppoe and put cable back in modem... or what?
if i sad something wrong now or even before... don't kill me.
