[SOLVED] How to connect ISP

satimis · 02-28-2014, 06:09 AM

Hi all,

Ubuntu 12.04.3

I need to connect my computer direct to the cable modem without via the router provided by ISP

I have the user name and password provided by ISP. Please advise how to config /etc/ppp/peers/provider. Any other files I need to configure as well?

Thanks

First of all, you need to find out what is interface of cable modem on LAN side, Ethernet, PPPoE and so on. And then configuration.

Hi,

Thanks for your advice.

Problem solved. My ISP use PPPoE interface. After installing pppoeconf now I can connect ISP server via cable modem without router.

A further question for Ethernet interface whether on /etc/network/interface adding;

Code:

iface eth0 inet static
address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

?

Thanks

The /etc/network/interface file should be like this. But it is better to use pppoeconf to configure PPPoE.

auto dsl-provider
iface dsl-provider inet ppp
pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf
provider dsl-provider

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual

Hi,

Thanks for your advice.

Already solved the problem after installing and ran pppoeconf. pppoeconf edited /etc/network/interfaces automatically same as on your advice abovementioned.
